RUN LIKE HELL is an indie horror/thriller with a few differences to the norm. The story is about a couple of tough guys holing up in a small town and coming across a family with more than their fair share of secrets. What follows is relatively fresh and original, although constrained by the usual genre restraints of low budget and lack of talent. The film has a slow pace and little in the way of violence, aside from a startling mid-point set-piece which is the film's most arresting moment. One failing I noticed is that as the main guys can obviously take care of themselves little suspense is built en route.

OK, first of all, what the heck was up with them playing the music while the people were talking in the beginning? It was really kinda hard to hear what they were saying. It's called background music, because it's supposed to be in the background, not the foreground drowning out the dialogue. That was really annoying! Anyway, the movie begins with four people - two guys, two girls - and they're driving through a deserted, underused road across the desert, maybe in Arizona. They take a detour, stop off at a place called Elvis Rocks, and they walk away from the car. Stupidly, the driver left the key in the ignition. Seriously, who does that? A stupid character in a slasher movie, of course. :D Cliché alert: As the group is returning to the jeep, somebody gets in and drives away, leaving the group stranded. Damn! So original. The girl with the glasses runs down and says "What happened?" even though she had a good view from the top of the hill. I guess those glasses aren't working for her.They walk until the find the house of Nancy and Harold, two people who give the creepy vibe. The group stays for dinner and then they meet Jed, the sheriff. He tells them it'll take a day or two to get their car back, and Nancy and Harold agree to host the group until then. During the night, one of the guys hears a saw from the barn of death muahahaha.The next day while scouting around the town, they go into a shop and they are all knocked unconscious and tied up. Then, the fun begins on their journey to death. Muahahahahahahaha. I can't say anything else without giving away spoilers.The storyline isn't original, and there are clichés in this. That's not the problem. The acting was...not good. The atmoshpere and sets were good enough for what the story demanded.Luke told Dan, "If you see anything you don't like, you tell me." Luke, I don't like this movie! lol

From the beginning, you can tell this is going to be one of those generic, thriller movies. Replete with F grade acting and a completely obvious plot line. Even so, these types of movies can be redeemed by clever directing etc. Or even having really sexy women in it. Or maybe try and include something that sticks in your mind, something that stands out. Maybe a touch of intelligent humour who knows. This movie had none of the above. It also had horrible voice overs. The acting is all one-note. The first 10 minutes is a huge drag. After that point, I had to fastforward it. Usually I'll just turn it off at that point. But I did watch 3 minutes near the end. Pointless movie.
