David Roggenkamp Take an old fashion Sheriff and deputy from a small town, thrown in an ambulance crew and for good measure, and then put them into a junkyard with a serial killer on the loose. Now throw in the main protagonists of the film – four college students, and you have a film. The college students are picked off one by one, as are the more capable adults. The film takes place in a junkyard so there are lots of hiding places and scene changes without changing location. The plot device is simple – one a car tuner, and one a rich boy, both drag and a belt in the car tuner's car snaps. It's off to the junkyard where things turn awry. As a twist one of the college students is actually an adrenaline junky and likes to shoot off a gun. The rest of the film is standard cinematography as horror movies go. It is what you can expect, and the movie is a letdown towards the end.Watch at your discretion, it helped me with my fix.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/?p=2914)

Theo Robertson After their car breaks down four youths go in to a junkyard ( They never learn ) to look for spare parts . After an accident one of the youths Jared rushes off to the local sheriff's office and returns to the junkyard . As the police and paramedics turn up they find the other three youths have disappeared . What could have happened to them ? As it becomes clear the youths might have disappeared but the danger hasn't How can you put a new spin on the teenagers in peril genre ? I mean this is a genre that has been going on for more than 35 years . Wes Craven who helped kick start the genre with LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT effectively killed it off with the post modernist SCREAM franchise and just about every teen horror since then has been straight to DVD fare , many of which are so bad to be almost unwatchable . Knowing this I sat down to watch WRECKAGE expecting grade Z rubbish but was surprised at what I got I don't want to overstate the case . I don't want to insinuate this is some hidden gem but an average user rating of 4.2 seems a bit stingy , especially to someone like myself who has seen far too many poor horror movies . Perhaps my enjoyment of WRECKAGE is down to thinking I knew how the story was going to turn out . As soon as the gang of four entered the junkyard I thought it'd be a simple of story of the youths splitting up and getting stalked by a mad murderer . To its credit the story moves in an entirely different direction where the back up in the shape of armed deputies and paramedics turn up but this might not be enough and everyone may be dead by the morning . There's a couple of twists at the end that might makes things divisive for audience opinion but I found WRECKAGE better than expected

loomis78-815-989034 Four friends have their car brake down in a rural area at night. Knowing there is an old wrecking yard nearby they go there. Unfortunately for them they picked the wrong night, as a killer recently escaped from prison is also there picking off the teens and police who have come to help. This standard slasher movie is pretty by the book as far as this sub genre goes. The characters aren't as annoying as they could be and the killer delivers some nasty kills and respectable gore. Some fun comic relief comes by the way of local redneck Frank Jeffries (McNairy) who is quite funny in his bewildered way. Slasher fans should enjoy this.

Flow I say 4.2 is more than this one deserves. Why? Decent budget, nice couple of actors, OK idea, horrible execution. Pretty much everybody going "It's OK", "Not bad", "Works for what it is", but I really got to ask, how many horrors have you seen? This is downright boring and bad.I had some high hopes considering all the hype around it, so the disappointment was even bigger, therefore, I'll try to spare a soul or two. Go look elsewhere, plenty of slashers out there, easy to find one regarding any tastes.I graded it 3, cause I really think it's the grade it deserves. Had the recipe for an OK movie, and managed to "bake" something too hard to swallow.
