ShangLuda Admirable film.
Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Comeuppance Reviews "You Cross The Bridge, You Cross The Devil!"When a group of teenagers (Gray, Carl, Julie, Tanya and Leon) from the city go deep in the woods to go camping and see the "Bridge To Nowhere", they run afoul of a bearded, vicious old salt named Mac (Lawrence) who chases them through the woods and hunts them down one by one. Leon loses his mind and goes missing. They played their boombox a bit too loud, apparently.Sadly, Mac never yells "Get off my land!" (while brandishing the prerequisite shotgun), but one of the teens does say "Where's the Bridge To Nowhere?"Bridge To Nowhere is well-made and a better-than-average clone of Deliverance (1972), Rituals (1977), Southern Comfort (1981), and Just Before Dawn (1981), but it bears the strongest resemblance to Damned River (1989). I guess you could call this a wilderness survival movie, New Zealand style.It starts off with some typically-80's sex romp style antics but then it turns deadly. It has a nice new wave contemporary soundtrack to fuel the fun. The highlight there is Marginal Era's "You Fascinate". The kids bring their beloved boombox everywhere, even deep in the woods where they dance their way through a hiking trip (forest dancing) and even on the Bridge To Nowhere (Bridge dancing). They even break out the sleeping bags and sleep on the Bridge itself. If all they wanted to do was dance, couldn't they do that at home?"And Matthew Hunter as Carl" is its own credit, dedicated to the kid who goes camping in patchy jeans and Doc Martens. Interestingly, future famous director Lee Tamahori was a first assistant director on the film.Positives: The picturesque New Zealand scenery is captured well by the cinematographer, the acting is above-average, and it is lean and mean at 85 minutes. Released on the Charter label on VHS in the U.S., if you are looking for a wilderness survival film you may have missed, Cross the Bridge To Nowhere tonight!For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
HumanoidOfFlesh Set in New Zeland's wilderness "Bridge to Nowhere" takes place in and around an actual unfinished bridge which was abandoned in the mid-1920s. Five obnoxious and noisy teenagers head into the woods to cross the bridge and set the camping.Unfortunately local mountain dweller is not happy to see them.He decides to hunt down the kids like animals and the blood begins to flow."Bridge to Nowehere" is a tense survival horror with some exciting stalking scenes and a bit of nasty violence.The villain is an interesting character as is his mentally unstable girlfriend.If you are a fan of "Deliverance","Rituals" or "Just Before Dawn" check out this unjustifiably forgotten survival classic with beautiful and lush scenery of North New Zealand.9 out of 10.
851222 Greetings from Lithuania.An independent movie that is actually leaves to Nowhere.I saw it when there was nothing to watch on late TV, so this movie was a little surprise for my. I was already falling asleep, but this movie got my attention somehow. Don't get my wrong, there's absolutely nothing special in this movie, only a beautiful landscape, some nice acting and disturbing killings.I don't recommend this movie because you won't see here nothing special or very interesting. But if you have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do and there is nothing good on TV, watch it.
merklekranz "Bridge to Nowhere" starts out in typical fashion. Five teens head out of their city element for a backwoods quest to find the infamous "bridge to nowhere". What they find in addition to the bridge is Bruno Lawrence and his captive teenage "bride", Alison Rutledge. The first half of the movie is straightforward hormone driven drivel, including a skinny dipping and peeper scene. Once the teen leader is confronted by a now very angry hermit, the film kicks into high gear. Genuine excitement follows as the "invaders" are driven from the hermit's domain. The violence is sudden and unpredictable. If you like hunted in the woods movies, you will enjoy "Bridge to Nowhere" - MERK
