Hit and Run Reviews

Wow, this movie is a wild ride. It starts off very similar to Stuck (which I liked a good bit), but then transforms into a very weird horror movie. I can't say that I loved it, or that I even enjoyed it. But it did keep me extremely interested in how it all would end up.

There are no sympathetic or likeable characters in Hit and Run. Laura Breckenridge plays a drunk-driving, panicky, selfish bimbo. The man she runs over....well let's say that any sympathy the viewer feels for him will disappear very swiftly.

I like how the horror aspects of this are sort of hidden until the second act. Maybe the fear is all in Mary's head...or maybe her victim has come back as one of the vengeful undead. It's left pretty vague in order to build the suspense and that's definitely a plus for any horror movie. Once the action hits, it hits hard. It's all absurd and implausible, but effective still.

The story was pretty good, it's just that it got just a little too boring and off track at some points.

If this were billed as a comedy, I would give it 4 stars. However, it is billed as a horror/suspense movie so in that regard it was horrible. The ending was the worst, yet funniest part of the film! Only watch this if you want to laugh...

Really weird movie. The main actress was horrible, and the boyfriend wasn't much better. The only one who was decent was the deranged guy that she hit with her car. It wasn't good, but it was different.

Hit and Run follows the story of a college student who after returning home from a night of parting and also being very tired behind the wheel of her jeep loses control of her car when there is a tire in the road she finally returns home just to end up being awaken by a noise comeing from inside the garage once down there she comes face to face with what she has done she has hit a man with her car and now must figure out what to do about it making alot of bad choices along the way that ultimately seal her fate and the fate of the person she hit.This low budget horror movie has alittle bit of that i know what you did last summer feel but overall is pretty enjoyable for what it was which is why it gets three and a half stars worth checking out but also no need to rush and see it as it is pretty predictable just a fun way to waste sometime.

Haha, this was crazy....and even a little good. Totally draggin for the first hour and then it finally starts getting interesting. See what happens when you mess around and NOT call the cops? Always, always call the cops, never try to hide anything. The guy was crazy and crazy makes you not feel anything, lol, so I've been told. But it was ok and if you want senseless entertainment this is perfect.

This Movie Was Kinda Boring Its Was Kinda Fun To Watch But Its Not Something Id Be Super Excited To Watch Everytime.

This is one of those movies whereas the previews makes the movie seem to be more than what it really is. It's a bit of an up and down movie; it goes back and forth to being interesting to dull all throughout the entire movie.

Well not absolutely horrible but almost an exact copy of I know what you did last summer, which also wasn't very good.. but ok if your completely bored out of your mind...

I thought that Hit and Run was a great low budget horror movie. What really stood out to me is that even though the plot seems ridiculous. A college student hits a man and didn't realize it until she heard him in the garage later that night. I know like I said it sounds ridiculous but somehow McCallion made it seem so realistic. But most of the credit goes to the acting. In low budget you usually see really bad acting and really good gore but in this beauty you get them both. Don't get me wrong it was not a full on gore fest but the gore that it did have was pretty good. I also loved the poster/cover art that they used on this. One of the only things that you will really find wrong in this movie was that at some points it got really slow paced, but they made up for it with allot of action for a full ten minutes. I also didn't like the music that they used in some parts of the film it reminded me of 1960's the Adam's Family music. But all and all Hit and Run delivers. So if you are in the mood for a charming low budget horror film with good gore and good acting I say check this one out.

Hot damn, when that babe was tied to the bumper of the car with Xmas lights and chains and taken for a ride on the roads, I felt bad for her. That looked painful stuff, whacked out, enjoyed for what it is.

Very good and scary movie with a great performance by Laura Breckenridge, and a very different performance by Kevin Corrigan. A rare actually scary movie, not just blood and guts for a change, but certainly enough of that too. Highly recommended.

great suspense thriller. the story kept me guessing to the end. I thought it was a wild ride.

Horrible waste of time. Bad script, bad acting, bad characters.

A film that runs in every direction that feels like it has alot of plot holes that are really not adding up and also the film has nothing really good to offer in the blood and gore department.

A few fair moments, but all in all just another 'scary' movie with lazy editing and nonsencal dialogue on the kiler's part. Also, making the main character a bulimic with an annoying-as-hell scream wasn't very wise.

"Hit and Run" is a little film that tries to do something different in the world of made-for-video movies. It's not a low budget slaughter-fest but instead it tries to be more of a suspense flick. Unfortunately, it fails either way.

It's essentially a one-person show, with the focus of the film solely on star Laura Breckinridge, and she isn't strong enough to carry a film. Even one as meager and unambitious as this one. The story is essentially a take-off on "I Know What You Did Last Summer", but there are some elements that just do not make sense.

Why the film's killer would murder his own wife is a mystery, as is the scene where he shows up back home after being missing for so long. None of it rings true, even for a movie of this nature where expectations are naturally lessened. Also a mysterious is how a B-movie like this gets indie darling Kevin Corrigan to play the killer, and then they give him very little to do. He has no personality, and precious little screen time when all is said and done.

The direction by first timer Enda McCallion is shoddy and lackluster, virtually ensuring that the movie will be completely suspense -free. It's as dull and lifeless as it is unbelievable. Breckenridge seems to make a mistake at every turn making her bad situation even worse, and because of that it is very difficult to muster any sympathy for her. And her uncaring boyfriend, played by Christopher Shand, is there to make sure she is in as much peril as possible.

Straight-to-video movies obviously get worse than "Hit and Run", but that still doesn't make this one any good. It's pretty slow going most of the way.

(2008) Hit And Run Unrated
THRILLER/ HORROR

Straight to rental movie has teenage Mary (Laura Breckenridge) while driving, accidently hits someone while trying to avoid something she saw lying on the middle of the road, her life then becomes a living hell once finding out that he wasn't really dead after all! Acting is exceptional but the convoluted storyline with plotholes would leave viewers asking more questions than receiving any answers. Idiotic and stupid at it's best that could've been interesting.

1.5 out of 4 stars

The story was pretty good, it's just that it got just a little too boring and off track at some points.
