85 South: Dead End

About This Movie

85 South: Dead End is an intriguing blend of comedy and horror that captures that quirky Southern vibe. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the off-kilter charm of the film. You’ve got this strange little town where everyone seems stuck, and the performances play with that sense of absurdity—there's a nice tension between humor and horror that keeps you guessing. Practical effects are used creatively, giving it that raw feel often missing in today's CGI-heavy landscape. It’s really the atmosphere that pulls you in; you feel like you’re on this road trip with them, and it somehow gets both eerie and hilarious at the same time.

This film has seen limited distribution, making it somewhat of a hidden gem among genre collectors. Its unique blend of comedy and horror, alongside its distinctive Southern charm, has garnered a niche following. Physical formats are relatively scarce, and collectors often seek out obscure titles like this for their unique takes on familiar themes in cinema.
