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
It's extraordinary that Sophie Lowe made this movie after "Beautiful Kate". Talk about coming in at the top floor... and riding the express elevator all the way to the basement.
I don't even know what "Road Train" is about, and I just finished watching it. It lost me and didn't find me again. Sure, I got the bits you already know if you haven't seen it already: two girls and two guys are travelling through the outback and are run off the road by a "road train", ie. a truck pulling more than one load. Their car is destroyed but they commandeer the titular train when they discover it apparently abandoned.
Then, all hell apparently breaks loose. Characters go crazy and kill each other for no reason I could discern. Is the truck haunted, and making them go crazy? What a stupid and unfilmable idea.
Aside from Lowe, the acting is also pretty bad, which just adds to the overall tackiness and ineffectiveness of the experience, which ends up feeling tiresome and annoying.
