Verdict on Road Train
Road Train is a horror mystery following four friends that find themselves dealing with the mystery of a road train lorry in the Australian outback. This sees them starting to question what happened and who was behind the attack.
The movie goes in a strange direction, one you would never have imagined. This keeps things feeling uneasy throughout the movie and even more disturbing when we see the final outcome. It gets to show how open the outback is and how helpless people can become if something evil is going on there. This is a tidy horror looking at the human factors between friends.
Final Thoughts – Road Train is a disturbing thriller with twists along the way.
