40 Sticks

About This Movie

40 Sticks dives into the claustrophobic chaos of a group of prisoners trapped in a bus, which is a tense setup for a thriller. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing really ramps up as the group realizes there’s a killer among them. It plays with the theme of survival against both nature and humanity, which is always intriguing. The practical effects here lend a gritty authenticity that heightens the stakes, and while the performances might not be Oscar-worthy, they carry that raw intensity you often find in lower-budget thrillers. It's this blend of desperation and fear that gives it a distinct edge, making it stand out in the genre. Definitely one for collectors looking for something a bit off the beaten path.
