Watch Dead End For Free

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Couldn't be better. The whole road trip just went to hell. Fun horror that can be enjoyed by so many. Perfect one to watch with those who aren't big horror movie fans but don't mind the odd one. This is the one to watch.

Don't know why it's rated 6.7 and I wonder if those possitive reviews are bought! Bad acting with bad actors. Script is mainstream, below average and so easy to predict. It's like a soap movie from 80s. Don't waste your time watching this, I have to turn if off after 25mins since I don't want to waste my precious time on such a failure. Acting is plain, stupid and the character reactions in the movie are unbelievable. If you want to watch a more scary movie, go to youtube and search for some creepy footages or folkores because this movie is even worse than that.

I consider this among the best three horror films of its decade; very atmospheric and keeps the gorier parts in the audience's imagination mostly. This film is one to watch several times as what seems like a cosy, humorous road movie turns into a nightmare. The story-line is simple. A family are travelling at night on Christmas Eve to visit relatives. In the car is the mother, father, son, daughter and the daughters boyfriend. The father decides to take a shortcut which takes them on a seemingly endless road in the middle of a forest. Shortly after a near miss with another car they spot a woman carrying a baby along the side of the road. Suffice to say after giving her a lift things start to go horribly wrong. A very claustrophobic, intense and incredibly classy piece of dark comedy/horror.For me, this was a movie that at times I wanted to turn off or pause, it's that suffocatingly tense. If you swing the other way and violence scares you, not tension, this movie would still probably work, as some unnervingly nasty things go on as the movie progresses. It's all well and good writing a plot that twists all over the shop, but if it doesn't tie back up at the end, people will come out feeling cheated. This movie stops that from happening, with a tight, clever story arc and some killer twists. Ray Wise is phenomenal as always. It should be an alternate Christmas favourite along with the likes of Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, but unfortunately it's been overlooked. The film has a dark and creepy feel throughout, the dialogue is sharp and witty, and the creative direction sustains the suspense throughout. If you are looking for a gore filled full on horror then 'Dead End' isn't it, but if you're looking for a psychological thriller that will not only hold your interest, but will keep you on the edge of your seat, then this is one of the best films you'll see in a long time.Overall rating: 9 out of 10.

The cinematography in this movie is a breath of fresh air. Eerie sound design. Simple yet effective. The true horror is your own imagination in this movie. They give you just enough detail to get inside your head. The characters are well acted. You can almost imagine this as a theatrical adaptation with live performers and it would be just as effective. Some of the scenes this movie are nightmarish and bizarre in ways that are just a hair outside the realm of reality. You are the passenger on a road trip gone terribly off schedule. As if being in the middle of nowhere weren't spooky enough. This modern family have bigger problems than teenage rebellion. A full tank of gas will only get you so far on this never ending road to horror! I give this bag five buttery bags of popcorn. For an authentic and immersive experience try watching this film at night in the back seat of a car on a highway excursion. Take care in the passing lane and don't forget to wear your seat belt!
