I saw a test screening of this some months ago and laughed/cringed throughout the whole thing. I haven't seen the theatrical release yet but if it's anything like the test screening it's a must-see. The scene with the "bear-trap", the "leg" and the "mini-fridge" has to be one of the most horrifically funny things I've seen in a long time. Some jokes/scenes come close to the edge and if you are somewhat sensitive then I don't suggest going to see it. If you don't like "Corporate Team Building" events then you MUST go and see this ... it's just what Team Building deserves in my book! Go and see it and support a great British film.

Oh where to begin. How could they screw up a movie with a premise like this.

The acting and the dialogue was awful even with actors like Cage and Peter Fonda delivering them, and the set up was rushed, like most of the rest of the movie. The FX ranged from OK to GOOD with the first transformation scene of Blaze to Ghost Rider being pretty well done but every change from there on in is in cheap and nasty morphovision and the morphing motorcycle looked stupid even if the flaming bike itself looked cool. The bad guys were non-entities and although they were supposed to be really powerful etc they don't do anything threatening through most of the movie and Ghost Rider eventually offs them with ridiculous ease, even the main dude at the end.

Honestly this movie has so many clichés you'll be bored less than half way in and after waiting about 30 minutes for Ghost Rider to appear you just want him to get off the screen straight away since apart from looking cool he comes across as a complete dork and his dialogue consists of really bad corny one liners. Every time he comes on screen you just hope to hell he doesn't say anything and when he does you'll be so embarrassed for the poor bloke.

Go get the comics instead.

I just saw Wrong Turn and I felt that it was a great movie considering all the terrible horror stuff that studios give us these days. In the press before this film was released the creators had described it as a throwback to 70's and 80's style horror, that is exactly what this thing was. This film could have easily been released 15 years ago and fit right in with all the other horror films of that time. I will admit, the plot in this one is pretty standard and it's not too tough to figure out which characters are going to survive but for me the fun was remembering a time in movies when all you cared about was how the characters were going to die, not how they survived.
