It’s never a good sign when a movie finds it necessary to apologize for its own content.  Never.  Just forget it.  And that’s why I’m so concerned about The Wrong Way, a Cliff Jumping Production.

The plot is pretty tough to follow here–basically, it’s some guy out for a ride on his motorcycle when all of a sudden he notices a guard rail about a quarter of a mile in front of him, and when he finally remembers to slam on the brake he ditches the motorcycle.  Wandering for a while, he finds a house, but he won’t want to stay there long, and there’s a good chance he won’t get out alive.

First off, you might have been able to pack more movie in if you’d taken out that title graphic that lasted twenty seconds of your seven minute film.  Plus, had you done that, you would’ve had an extra three minutes time to use.

Oh, and you may want to apologize for the lousy choreography on the bike crash scene, too.  And the fact that I have no idea what your plot was, or that your “monster” was some guy in a preposterous fright mask, or…

Well, I think you get the picture.  When a movie apologizes for its own quality before its viewers even watch, all it does is destroy the movie’s credibility.

The Screenhead Ten Scale glumly agrees with me and hands over a meager three out of ten.  Hopefully they can do better on their next run.
