Mr. Banker teases us with a dizzy, dislocating shooting style that throws up a succession of eerily arresting images. Even so, his film never overcomes the fact that watching drugged-out wastrels is rarely interesting ...

Director Jason banker finds the ironic beauty that arises from his characters' self-contemptuous and misplaced acts of destruction.

Think of it as the CliffsNotes version of Dante Alighieri's "Inferno."

Toad Road is sloppy and under-realized, but it should connect with anyone who's ever made terrible choices for no good reason.

The Dissolve
Unfocused, it can only ever hint at the chills it wishes to evoke, its lack of characterization meaning we never quite care who these people are or why they're acting so irresponsibly.

What starts out as an utterly strange horror film turns into a brutally raw and unflinching look at aimless youth.

Toad Road is not a success and I must continue to fantasize about how great the film could have been.

...(often)too much about the party and not enough about the paranormal.
