Left Turn Audience Reviews

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
elsa4077 Has anybody noticed that this film is a complete and utter retread of a classic and chilling but little-seen 1978 short UK film called Panic directed by James Dearden (son of the famous Basil Dearden). It's okay to attempt a remake or update of a film but at least the maker of the new film should give credit where credit is due. The director of Left Turn has most definitely seen Panic but doesn't seem to credit this. Also, there is nothing that instills the same panic in Left Turn that the original Panic achieved so well. A longer running time and some important additional scenes in the original made it truly chilling where this version is just botched. Anyway - why does Ellis assume that everyone has forgotten the 1978 Panic and try and make out the story is his idea? Plagiarism is just reprehensible and Ellis should be ashamed. Arghhhhh!
jenn_cat2006 Excellent "mini" movie with magnificent acting and wonderful cinematography. A woman driving home in the rain learns from the radio that a woman was found dead. She spots an elder, weak-looking woman carrying a large bag and she lets the woman have a ride only because she felt sorry for her and it was raining. The old woman scared her in the car so she faked a flat tire to distract her so she could leave her behind, later noticing she left the large bag in her car. The woman goes to the police to hand the old woman's possessions over to them and discover strange effects inside. A daunting and chilling ending will surely surprise everyone watching this remarkable short film.A Five Star Story!
DavidJM A short does not have a lot of time to make its point. I don't think they did. It was a bit eerie, but it lacked convincing fear or fear development. Also just reminded me a lot of an old Twilight Zone teaser. Maybe another viewing will change my opinion...
hank-1 LEFT TURN is a dark and disturbing short film which manages to supply a large amount of suspense within it's short running time(15 minutes). Lucy Russell (The Lady and the Duke) plays Julie, who driving home on a dark and rainy night picks up an old woman who appears to be in trouble. Julie starts to have second thoughts about her good deed when something starts to feel very wrong about her hitch hiker.In the style of "Don't Look Now" this scary short film has great performances along with slick looking sequences filled with tension.
