Movie - Dead End (2003)


I have seen a few movies or shorts that had a story similar to this. The movie is about a family who come in contact with a woman in the woods on their way to a Christmas party on Christmas Eve. The woman, when left alone with the daughter's boyfriend, takes his body, dismembers him, and throws him on the road. After seeing this, the family flees and tries to find help. After some time, they find that they are on an endless road that just keeps going on and on. Every time they stop, another family member gets taken and murdered until only the daughter is left. When the daughter suddenly awakens in a hospital, she is told that they had all gotten into a car accident and she is the only survivor. In a way the movie is a dream-like way of expressing the car accident and the loss of her family one by one. I liked the way that this movie played out and also liked that the paranormal investigator from Insideous was the mother character in this movie because she is a great actress (though she's pretty silly in this one). A funny part of this movie is when she eats an entire pie and ends up throwing up from it. The only part I didn't like about this movie was how ridiculously vulgar they made the brother. I though they could have toned that down quite a bit. I gave this one a four.
