Ditched

Oh boy, how could I´ve been so wrong? I just assumed Christopher Donaldson's debut feature film and writer of the story, perfect recipe for disaster. And I will say it again, I couldn't have been more wrong. I was pretty impressed with how the whole film came together. And this movie came even with a brilliant twist at the very end. Did not see that one coming. With an estimated budget of CA$1,000,000 my guess is that this is like the best movie you could have made, the most bang for your buck. "Ditched" opens on a brutal car accident that has left an ambulance overturned. Paramedic Melina (Marika Sila) is the only passenger conscious among two other paramedics, two police officers, and three prisoners. Things don't seem incredibly awful, that is until Melina starts to realize that they may not be alone out there in that ditch. In fact, nobody seems to be who he is or was. I really liked the characters in this movie and from time to time the dialogues were very good. A long way to go but if this is your first movie, expect some fireworks in the future. The cast and their acting performance was very decent. However the acting performances of Marika Sila (Melina) and especially the performance from Kris Loranger (Franson) were just inspirational. I am now just waiting to see more from Christopher Donaldson. And I have a feeling he will deliver.... To those who like this genre, a must-see!

The premise is good. An ambulance and a police car are off the road and the ambulance is overturned. They were transporting prisoners to a hospital. It was not an accident. We soon get to realize the prisoners are really bad people. Really bad, and the accident happened in a place with no cell service, and radios can't get out of the canyon. Melina is the paramedic that seemed to have suffered a concussion, but soon seems the most lucid. Another paramedic suffered a broken shin, and the third was stunned, but seemed to recover. But Melina is the most able to get around. So it is not an accident, and one expects that there is something about the prisoners. Either to release them, or get revenge on them. There are strangers in the woods, wearing total camouflage that are very threatening, and they decapitate the one cop, who was driving the police car, when he tried to get to higher ground to get a signal out. So it is not looking good for them. Melina only wants to get back to her daughter Lily, and is determined to survive until help can arrive. To that point, it is done very well. The problem is that the movie continues, and while it is only a movie, it is not believable for the scenario then presented.

Interesting but not great. I liked the twist (no spoilers here) I don't feel like seeing this was a waste of my time but I probably wouldn't watch it again.

It's a really good movie who doesn't love revenge an eye for eye. It's worth a watch very good gore and decent acting. Please give it go it's full of surprises especially at the end.

It was better then i first expected, after watching the first 15 minutes i thought this movie would be a b-flick "trying" to be an a-flick.

It ended up being something in between, the story is good and mostly unpredictable.

There could have been some improvements on how broken car glass looks like on the side doors of a car, we all know it breaks in to a million pieces.

But what brings this movie down a bit is the hysterical lights flashing from the emergency vehicles wich penetrates my whole living room, the movie should be put out with a warning sticker to epileptical people, it's immense and to me just disturbing.

Aside from that i find it very watchable, especially for people who like the horror/mystery titles, with a bit of splatter to it!

And if there would be a second movie? Yes i would watch it, with sun glasses.
