(HORROR) Detour - 2009 ***


'Detour' had a number of twists and turns to it, and actually it wasn't a bad film. It was fairly jumpy, had some shocks and towards the end it got rather intense. This is usually the way with foreign horror; at least it knows how to scare, unlike all the American horror that is churned out. A couple on their way back from buying an excessive amount of booze for their friend's wedding drive through a well known 'smugglers' road which many people use to get their alcohol over the border. They are stopped by a policeman who, instead of searching them, tells them that there has been an accident along the road and that they should take a detour. Once they have done this however, they realise that they are in danger for their lives.
Not a bad film, and a heck of a lot better than many others I have recently seen.
