Stuck (2002)

On her way home from a club, care-worker Brandy hits a homeless man who stepped out in front of her car.
Unable to afford a DUI charge, she panics and flees the scene, with the man still stuck in her wind-shield.
After putting the car away in her garage the man, still in place, wakes up.
In too deep to simply call for help, she is left trying to find a way to deal with the injured man.

Despite being inspired by an horrific true story, Director, Producer and story developer Stewart Gordon (Re-Animator) mines this disturbing tale for dark-comedy gold. The balance is good though, with the humour being drawn from the situation, which for all its absurdity is still intense and shocking.

A thumping good thriller, with excellent make-up effects, and solid acting. Stuck manages to be darkly funny in all the wrong (right?) places, without ever becoming a parody.

Disclaimer:
If you look through the archives, you'll see that I've been using "Bought from Poundland" as a tag since at least 2011.

At the end of October 2013 I decided that all of my 2014 movies would be purchased from Poundland, and began buying up horror movies, to ensure I would have enough come October 2014.

In March 2014 I took a part time job at Poundland.

In accordance with the companies social media policy, in September 2014 I contacted Poundland's social media team to check that I would be okay to carry on with my plan to use the "bought from Poundland" tag.

I have been given the go-ahead on condition that I make the following clear:

All the reviews on this blog are entirely the opinion of Will Tingle, the reviews are not endorsed by Poundland in any way and (as should be obvious from some of the more scathing ones) are certainly not reviews I have been paid to write.

In short: The views expressed in this blog are mine alone, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Poundland or it's owners, shareholders, or  management.
