This film has some of the right ingredients to be a success but couldn't put it all together

Badlands of Kain (2016) is a movie I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline for this picture focuses on two friends on a cross country road trip trying to rebuild their relationship after some recent hardships. Their car breaks down in Kaine, Arizona and they try to make the best of it as they wait for their car to get fixed. Several subtle and not so subtle hints from locals is that they may never be allowed to leave. Can the friends resolve their differences and escape Kaine or will they be stuck there forever?

This movie is directed by Andy Palmer (The Funhouse Massacre) and stars Rachelle Dimaria (Justice for Vincent), Katrina Norman (17 Again), Paul Soter (Super Troopers), Jordan Belfi (Entourage) and James Marshall (A Few Good Men).

This film had a lot of potential based on the settings, cast and very solid conclusion; but unfortunately, there aren't enough kill scenes, the ones that happen are lacking and there's no real gore. The movie is actually pretty boring until the end, and somehow, the ending is actually pretty clever and good.

Overall this is a movie that fails to live up to its potential. This film has some of the right ingredients to be a success but couldn't put it all together. I would score this a 3.5-4/10 and recommend skipping it.
