Roadkill
Vengeance rides the open road when a young woman, traveling alone, encounters a renegade drifter and ends up in a fight for her life.
Why it matters
Vengeance and violence collide on the sun-drenched backroads of the Florida Panhandle in this retro-tinged thriller.
- Feels like a time capsule from the ’80s roadkill subgenre, blending “Kalifornia” grit with “Smokey and the Bandit” chase energy.
- Practical effects and car stunts ground the carnage in tactile, visceral reality—no CGI shortcuts here.
- Ryan Knudson’s brooding drifter channels that classic outlaw menace, while Caitlin Carmichael’s teen is far from a helpless victim.
- For fans of Southern Gothic and rural thrillers who appreciate horror’s uneasy dance with Americana.
