Product Description

FENDER BENDER - In a small New Mexico town, a 17-year-old high school girl who just got her driver's license gets into her first fender bender, innocently exchanging her personal information with an apologetic stranger. Later that stormy night, she is joined in her desolate suburban home by a couple of her school friends who try their best to make a night out of it, only to be visited by the stranger she so willingly handed all of her information to - a terrifying and bizarre serial killer who stalks the country's endless miles of roads and streets with his old rusty car, hungrily searching for his next unsuspecting victim. Stars Makenzie Vega, Cassidy Freeman, Bill Sage Blu-ray

1.0 out of 5 stars We tried so hard to like this film...
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2021

...but the producers and director just wouldn't make that happen.

Spoiler alert (as if a warning is necessary)...

First, the movie begins with great promise. We see the bad guy in his element, doing his dirty deed.

Then we shift to our main subject. Okay, so far so good. She's in high school and finding out her boyfriend is a louse. Okay, fine...

...and then she gets into a... wait for it... fender bender with, guess who? Yep.

Still, just fine. You gotta set the thing in motion, right?

Well, without going into the boring details, the film proceeds fine, really, until the director and producers demonstrate they don't really know how to handle this kind of material.

The vagabond murderer plot is an old one. And it has been done well, and done poorly, and done abysmally. Guess which category this film falls into?

When you are taking on a subject that has been done a lot, you have to bring something fresh to the table. You have to have an interesting, if not unique, spin on the subject matter...and it has to be worthy of actually spending the money on to tell the story.

But when you have your characters behaving like idiots, well, they actually kind of deserve to die.

When you find someone has done something creepy, and the friends that show up moments later say they didn't do it, you get on your guard. You don't dismiss it.

And then, when you actually have the opportunity to escape, you don't run into a closet in the basement where there is no way to evade the bad guy, who has now killed your best friend.

You get out of the house when you have that opportunity. And you go to the neighbour's house and call 911. You don't stick around and challenge a guy who is intent on killing you.

This is the 2000s now, folks, and kids and teens are savvy enough to know what to actually do. Get out! Call the cops.

The main subject does none of this. And her other friend dies because of it, needlessly. How stupid are we expected to believe people are who are called really smart in the film's dialogue?

So, our subject manages to stab the guy and club him with a tire iron. She should beat him to death. But, noooooo... she doesn't run away, either. He's down, bleeding, and she even managed to set him on fire (which he puts out, of course). But does she run to the neighbour's house and call the cops?

Nope. She's the stupidest intelligent person on earth.

So, what happens?

She dies. And our bad guy is back on the road again.

Now, let me add the following...

This film is reminiscent of the 1980s slasher craze, where the evil guy just seems to not die, and manages to elude death time and again. Fine. But the problem here is, whether homage or not, we have no reason, no backstory as to why this guy is doing this, how he came to adopt the "fender bender" idea...so his killing of people is so random and so pointless that it gives us nothing as a result.

This film, we did finish watching it to the end, has no point, serves no purpose. It is retread of retread of a retread of an idea that has been done far superior to this effort.

Our "hero" had him beat. He met his match. Yes, that ending has been done before as well. But it was so satisfying...until I realized, and said to my wife, "Watch, she'll turn around and he won't be there." There was him lying on the ground, seeming beat and just not quite dead yet. Sure enough, the old canard was used.

Sigh... today's filmmakers need to watch a lot of old films to learn how it was done, should be done. And they need to understand that if you're going to tackle zombies, vampires, deranged vagabond killers, you better be sure you have a worthwhile twist. otherwise, you're going to get a review like this one.

So, if you've read this far, you must now understand this film just isn't worth wasting your time on.

I am both a writer and I sold insurance for two companies about 20 years ago. Not that this matters but I am Hispanic and I have the last name as the main character. First, let me start off with, when you are rear ended it is never your fault ever (it is 100% always the other drivers fault, unless they can prove that you were driving backwards.) Second, in a Hispanic household (mine being Puerto Rican) parents or anyone do not get pissed if the accident wasn't your fault. As a matter of fact the first thing we're asked and I would ask my son if he gets into an accident is "are you okay" and then if it is their fault then we get mad. McKenzie Vega (Hilary) played her part and it was believable, but I didn't feel anything genuine about the parents at all. Even the little bit of Spanish was terrible. As far as the rest of the movie goes it was what you would expect it to be. Typical suspense/horror movie that brings nothing new to the table. Although road rage is a real thing, this guy was road raging he was just a psychopath and you would have a greater chance of getting hit by an elephant be ridden by a clown with a money on their head than a psychopathic "road rage" killer.

It was an excellent movie to me I have seen far more hyped up movies and I expected more from them but this one I was speechless and loving the entire serial killer plot . I love when it is not your usual ending and the serial killer lives on because the normal ending of any film is the bad guy is killed or caught and the heroes live on but not this one sometimes different is good and it keeps you wanting more . I loved it , the serial killer is very good and I did feel sad when all the kids and young ladies died for sure I guess I was more stunned that serial killers get away with this always and nothing is done which is sad but I loved it overall it was suspenseful and he was good at the role . Very classic in a simple setting overall . His words at the end says alot and he is right most of the time death is remembered and lives on as a legend rather than your life and existence itself . It is sad but it is true . Loved it overall thanks for the watch :)

5.0 out of 5 stars The Retro VHS Cut is worth the price of the film alone!
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2016

It's been ages since I've reviewed anything on Amazon, but I felt compelled to give some love to the folks over at Scream Factory for providing a much needed boost to the slasher genre.

Fender Bender is full of modern tropes that scream 2016, yet it still manages to feel like a fun throwback, especially the Retro VHS Cut, which I hope becomes a regular staple of Scream Factory releases.

This is not a flawless film by any means, but if you're a fan of the genre it's worth watching and judging for yourself. Personally, I'm really glad I gave it a chance and will proudly place it on my shelf among the slashers of yesteryear.

This doesn’t reinvent the slasher genre however it is a nice addition. Yes it’s all been done before but don’t be put off by bad reviews this is a competent film with an interesting killer. Overall the characters are quite likeable but as a slasher it’s mainly about the kills and Fender Bender delivers in that department. Perhaps one to check out before buying.
