HIGH LANE (2009)

Five annoying dicknecks go out for a little mountain climbing adventure and end up climbing into an ass whoopin'.  The End.

HIGH LANE starts out promising enough with the Alpha dickneck telling the other dicknecks how it's gonna be, then they drive along and sing and smile and smoke weed. Finally, they get to the mountain and climb around some.  It's all not very exciting.  Finally, shit starts hitting the fan and the story bogs down into the familiar, chased-by-a-crazed-hillbilly scenario that every horror fan has seen 666 times before.  Except this film has even less violence than normal and the killer is completely forgettable. Also, the entire film was just badly photographed.  I have no idea what look the filmmakers were going for, but HIGH LANE is a straight-up ugly movie to look at.  Bleached colours, insane amount of close-ups, nighttime scenes where you can barely tell what's going on, indoor scenes that are way too dimly light, non-stop shaky cam during the action scenes.

Outside of the one girls cleavage, I cannot think of a single reason to watch this movie. I didn't hate it, but there is simply nothing new or unique going on.  It's boring and chore to get through.

If you need me, I'll be in my room watching WRONG TURN 4.
