Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie was retitled 'Road Kill' for its American release, because the North American public generally do not know what a "road train" is. It is a two to three trailer truck.
- GoofsWhen Nina is turning the truck around by herself, we see the truck's tachometer. The tachometer is reading zero RPM, which means the truck's engine is off and cannot be moving.

Featured review
Silly (No Spoilers)
I do not want to ruin the movie with the premise or the secret of the Road Train but I have to say it comes across as Silly. The actors were competent but not too likable. The FX were really bad in some places but I can excuse this due a low budget. The movie was soundly made from a technical standpoint.
However, the movie is not scary at all and really is stupid with the twist that occurs slightly more than half way through the flick.
This movie like all low budget movies has a 10 star review from someone obviously involved in the film at some level. No rational person who has seen more than 10 movies would give this movie more than 5-6 stars.
The movie is trying to be compared to Spielbergs very well made Duel and to a lesser extent Joy Ride. Anytime a movie comes out and the marketing mentions good films that it is similar to is the ultimate red flag. It is a dead giveaway the film is not good.
This is slightly better than most DTV low budget horror flicks but that is not saying much. I gave it a 4 out of 10 but will say the director shows potential.
