*an online screener of this film was provided by XLRator Media. Director: Micheal Bafaro. Writers: Micheal Bafaro and Evan Tylor. Cast: Anna Hutchison and Andrea Whitburn. You can prepare for a lot of car metaphors as Micheal Bafaro's (The Devil's Ground) Wrecker crashes into this review. Full of wheel spinning, Wrecker's plot moves ahead as if in rush hour traffic. This two note script does little to inject any life into the screen. Meanwhile, the film's reality is broken up with the introduction of several faux conflicts. Amoral characters Emily (Anna Hutchison) and Leslie (Andrea Whitburn) cannot outpace an old tow truck, despite driving a modern sports car. Scenes are sped up to create tension. But, Wrecker still offers a lackluster time, in which the viewer's patience is tested and broken; there is not even a single car crash to gawk at, despite the film's title. Emily is the protagonist in the film.

Tagline: "One road trip, two friends, one wrong turn." Wrecker is a roadside thriller, from Industry Works Pictures. The film involves two friends and an anonymous truck driver. Together, they vie for an isolated roadway. One part Steven Spielberg's Duel (1971), the film stars Anna Hutchison and Andrea Whitburn. This film will be taken to Cannes, beginning May 13th. And, the film's first trailer is hosted here. The clip shows more of the film's story. Emily (Hutchison) and Lesley (Whitburn) are forced off the road, by a rogue tow truck driver. They try to escape, but help is nowhere to be found. The setting is supposed to be an American state. However, the shooting location is easily recognizable as British Columbia, this horror fan's home province. The interior, of B.C., is full of long highways and isolated dirt roads, some of which can be seen in the trailer, below.

In 1983, viewers saw the tire-squealing rage of a jealous ’58 Plymouth Fury in John Carpenter’s Christine, based on the Stephen King novel.

Now XLrator Media is tossing their film reel into the ring of vehicle-centric horror films with Wrecker, due out next summer.
