I’ve really only seen a trailer for The Road twice on television, but apparently this horror film from the Philippines is already in theaters. Checked it out on BoxOfficeMojo and the film is really struggling in terms of ticket sales. So, here’s hoping I can encourage you to go see a foreign, indie horror film.
The trailer and poster art remind me of Silent Hill, but The Road has nothing to do with that series, although it does deal with otherworldly beings. This film is about, “A 12 year-old cold case which is reopened when three teenagers went missing in an abandoned road. In the course of the investigation, deeper and gruesome stories of abduction and murders are discovered. After more than two decades, the secrets and mysteries of the road are finally revealed and the spirit lingering the dark and desolate pathway is out to make sure nobody leaves alive.” [IMDB]
The Road comes from director Yam Laranas, who is famous for creating horror films The Echo and Patient X. See the trailer for his latest film, The Road, by scrolling down. Looks kind of good, right?
