Fantasia '12 Review: 'Toad Road' A Captivating Micro-Budget Horror Film

Screwing with genre in a similar way that micro-budget relative Aaron Katz does, Jason Banker's "Toad Road" is an off-putting horror tale that abstains from the easy routes its kin generally take. We're first introduced to James (James Davidson) as he awakens in a niveous woodland, isolated and curiously disheveled. It's a crafty opening, establishing a certain uneasiness with an enduring take shot from afar. He manages to hail down a ride, but despite the stranger's prodding at why the man was out in the middle of nowhere alone, the protagonist keeps a lid on it.

I hope she gets someone good to play the Jewish parking attendant. There are a lot of good young
Seduced and Abandoned sounds like a compelling documentary about the deals made at film festivals.
Right, because all characters are exactly the same and should be played in exactly the same way.
I think they waited too long to release the sequel to ST 2009. 4 years is a long time between
