Drifter (2016)
86 minutes of my life I will never get back!
I have never written a review on here before, I'm usually happy to give an out of ten rating and leave it at that, but on this occasion I feel it is my civic duty to do so! IMDb trivia for this movie tells us it was shot in 13 days, and I can't say as I was surprised to read that!
This movie starts with so so so much promise... the cinematography is outstanding, the SFX are excellent, I found they really put me on edge and made me feel actually quite uncomfortable - exactly as you would expect a horror movie to do; but that's where it stops being a horror, and starts being just plain awful.
The first half of the movie promises so much that the second half simply fails to deliver on. I always watch a movie to the end if I make it past half way, but on this occasion I came extremely close to breaking that rule.
Drifter begins being very intriguing; two brothers who have a "working car" driving around a post apocalyptic wasteland seeking out revenge... soon takes an utterly ridiculous tangent whereby they get taken prisoner by cannibals and subjected to some unoriginal and frankly boring torture/death. Confused? Me too, it's really like they changed writers half way through the script and just ruined it.
In summary: Not a horror, and not worth your time! I'm devastated I lost over an hour to it, let alone the time it took to write this, but I simply wanted to save as many people from it as I could!
