Maniac Films, which I imagine is headquartered in someones bedroom, presents Deadly Detour. The budget is clearly low, but at least there's some effort, the problem is that it's really hard to do much with a cast that seems like it's been plucked out of an ICP concert.
The film starts out on a blind date that is pretty much just a dude parking his car in what is supposed to be the middle of nowhere, to get with this girl. The editing and acting are what you'd expect. Something bad happens to the couple and we get some gore that looks good, but is way overdone. Look at how much intestines we made!
So with that out of the way, we get to the cruxt of our story, as it were. 2 groups of people, and I use the term loosely, are on a road trip. Look, this is pretty much a bad student film, random things happen, like we see what is supposed to be a retarded fella in a wheelchair eating his own poop, he's shown for 3 seconds and never mentioned again. When they stop at a rest stop we see another group of people just hanging out, the two groups are never shown on screen together but they comment on each other, it's just so stilted and badly conceived.
I want to say the dialog is awful, but that would imply that I think there's an actual script, which I don't. They just say fuck and cock and shit a lot, laugh about getting high like they just discovered it, drink beer, and generally act like nobody you would ever want to be around for more than 2 minutes. Strip away every ounce of humanity in Jay and Silent Bob and you've got the cast of this lovely shit stain.
The result of what you'd imagine would happen if a bunch of 20 something stoners with no film making or acting experience decide to make a movie, Deadly Detour is more of a bad home movie than anything else.
