Wrecker (2015)



Very much a redux/tribute to the classic Spielberg 1971 film "Duel" - two girls on a road trip are suddenly, without motivation, threatened by a wrecking truck that follows them across the wastelands.

It's a simple film, but not without it's charm. I do like the way that it stays faithful to Duel in so much as you don't get to see who is behind the wheel of the big bad truck - therefore making it mysterious, and the attacks are without reason. Just pure senseless terrorising.

Summed up, there's not much more to this than the visual aspect, but there really doesn't need to be. And that's just fine.
