Hollywood, Stuck for Ideas

Monday, May 12th, 2008 at 10:10 am by Jami

I should just declare reader Mikey D my bad movie expert. He’s at it again with this gem of a horror flick. This is the trailer for Stuck which comes out with limited release on May 30.

Wow.

The fucked up part? This actually happened in real life!

Hey Jami,
Remember a few years back when that lady who worked as a nurse got all drunk and pilled up at a party, hit that homeless guy, and that guy got wedged in her windshield and she just left him in here garage to bleed to death, and then her and her boyfriend burned the body and the car seat he bled out on, and got caught after bragging about it at ANOTHER party where she got even more drunk and pilled up, and all of America was appalled by the whole ordeal? (Wow… run on sentence much?)

Well now all of America can relive this whole horrific series of events on the BIG SCREEN complements of Holly Wood! Aren’t you just excited? Don’t you love it when Holly Wood makes profit off of loosely basing a movie off real world stuff?
I know I do… horray!

Had I not known the background, I would have assumed this is some crazy idiot’s idea that got greenlit after a night of drinking and drugging with a studio exec. You know what, now that I know that it’s actually based on a real life story, I KNOW that this is some crazy idiot’s idea that got greenlit after a night of drinking and drugging with a studio exec. I’m not sure what’s more fucked up, the fact that some crazy shit like this actually happened or the fact that there’s a movie that has the potential to kick off a whole franchise.

There are a number of truly horrifying movies based on real life events that make you question just what the fuck is wrong with humanity. Certainly, there’s an aspect of exploitive profiteering that leaves a bad taste in my mouth whenever one of these gets made. But the thing that truly bothers me is that there are sick fucks in this world who would just let a man bleed to death in their wind shield.

    Oh, and from some other stuff I’ve been reading/hearing about this flick, leaving him to die is only like the 1st and 2nd act of the movie, the whole 3rd act is him actually escaping, and then turning into the whole “Revenge-Horror” concept. Which didn’t happen in the actual story, he actually just bled to death in this woman’s garage.
    She did however reportedly accuse him of “ruining her life” on a couple of occasions when she went into the garage.

    Law and Order already did this story. Except in that one the guy was commiting suicide and the driver was a newly minted lawyer who would have gotten off if he had called for help, but was too afraid of losing his new job to do to try to help the man.

    They should have let him die. Then he could have haunted from windshield to windshield until she confessed. At least then it would actually seem like a horror movie.
