Not bad, even if a bit derivative
A couple are heading through the woods and need to get some directions from the stereotypical creepy hill billies. Good idea to follow their advice ... ?
No surprises much in the first act. Dialog keeps the movie entertaining but as the second act kicks in, the movie feels like it is probably going somewhere interesting.
It's main idea has been done before many times (I won't quote other movies as it'll give that away easily) but it's handled well and, for the most part, hangs together and is a good watch.
The third act is where the movie starts to come apart a bit and becomes a bit of a jumble of nonsense. Yes it went downhill but no, the movie wasn't wrecked as it wasn't already on some incredible high ground.
I think with a bit of spit and polish and some better ideas in the last act, this could have been very good. As it stands, it's a worthwhile watch if you're stuck for a movie one evening.

Most underrated movie of 2024!
"Drive Back" is an exciting 10/10 movie that mixes fun and fear. The story is about a couple who are coming home from their engagement party, but their trip takes a scary turn when they meet strange people in the woods. The spooky scenes and beautiful pictures make you feel like you are right there with them. The actors do a great job showing how scared they are. Each surprise in the story keeps you guessing, and it doesn't use the same old tricks that other scary movies do. The tension builds up really well, leading to an amazing ending that will leave you surprised. For anyone who loves thrilling stories, "Drive Back" is a must-see movie that you will remember long after watching it. It shows how quickly a happy moment can change into something scary, making it a perfect choice for a fun movie night!
