Abigail Hawkins sits alone, deep in her thoughts at a Sunday church service on the one-year anniversary of her husband's death. Her son, Jasper Hawkins, is noticeably absent from the congregation. He wakes up in a shabby motel room on the outskirts of town next to Irma Mae, a local barmaid. After helping himself to Irma Mae's tip money and a little more, Jasper is out the door and begins the long walk into town. During the journey he reflects on the last memory of his dying father and the events that lead up to this day. A black '69 Plymouth Road Runner stops on the deserted country road to pick up the hitchhiking Jasper. The driver is Joseph Iblis, a traveling salesman offering "the future". The two men hit the road and soon begin a verbal chess match of wills. The ride leads to a trail of blood as big as Texas as Jasper becomes progressively unhinged and is forced to face his darkest demons. He will soon discover that evil takes a different route.

  • BACKROAD - Review by Nic Brown (B Movie Man)

    f-sixtyfour2011-11-16

    BACKROAD is an intelligent and engaging thriller with a surprising element of the supernatural blended seamlessly into it. The film stands out among independent horror in that it doesn't go for the "cheap shots" of excessive gore or nudity to sell it. Instead the film relies on story. Matthew Carter's performance is particularly noteworthy. It would be easy to slip into cliché as the killer, but Carter brings an air of unnerving believability to the role that makes his character engaging, without being sympathetic or comical. In addition to his work as writer & director, Slaten handled the film's cinematography with a skillful hand. The movie is filled with interesting camera angles and shots that show Slaten's eye for the camera. One shot of blood dripping into water is particularly striking. Overall BACKROAD is one of the best horror/thrillers to come out this year, so check it and find out why they say Jasper Hawkins has the devil in every inch of him!

  • Best low-budget horror movie I've seen in a long time

    gboozer2010-04-26

    Backroad is set in East Texas, where evil sometimes wears a cowboy hat. The peaceful countryside is contrasted to the disturbing scenes of violence that punctuate this artistically composed story of how evil grows, and sometimes, how it all ends up. The performances were excellent, neither understated nor overdone. The cinematography was impressive, especially considering the fact that this was all done on a shoestring. The story was disturbing, a bit intense for me at moments, but not a plot less gore-fest, as so many horror films have gotten to be. There is enough ambiguity and symbolism to make me pay attention and think a bit, to make me discuss the film with others, and to make me want to see it again. In fact, I bought the DVD, and I hope that they give it a wider release at some point. Having a rare limited-edition copy won't do me any good, since I refuse to sell it.
