Now open the news page, and perhaps the most common is the reports of traffic accidents in various places. There are disputes about catching drunk driving, disputes about parking spaces, disputes about parking lot payment, some being paddled by bears, and others in a series of highway crashes, hit-and-run traffic accidents, and claims made by the families of the victims... ··There are too many to mention. With the substantial increase in the number of cars, the troubles and tragedies brought about by cars are endless.

The plot of the movie "Car Crash" is very simple, it is a tragedy caused by a traffic accident. Stephen Wray, a professional "bad guy on the screen", once again played a big bad guy. His role is a blue-collar unemployed man who lived on the streets due to the "financial tsunami" in 2008 (this movie was also shot that year, and its irony It means more than horror). He went to the government to register for unemployment, and his casual attitude made him very angry and frustrated. Who knows that even worse things are still to come.

Mina Suvari plays a nurse in a nursing home. She has a very good working attitude and is very patient with the elderly. She is responsive to requests, but such a "good person" completely tore through the mask of hypocrisy in a traffic accident. This girl is actually a very common "exquisite egoist" at present. Her efforts at work are entirely for promotion, not because of her kind nature. Finally, she deceived the trust of the leader and got a chance to be promoted, so she decided to go to the club to party and celebrate that night. She drank drugs, drank, and had fun at night. The only drawback was that her boyfriend was a little disobedient. On the way home drunk, she was distracted by her boyfriend's phone call, and bumped into the hapless person!

The hapless guy didn't "fly higher", but got stuck in Mina's windshield. Mina drove the car into her garage in this way. She ignored the unlucky groans and requests. She neither called the police nor sent her to the doctor. She could not allow any incidents to hinder her promotion, even if the cost was an innocent person. life!

Mina continued to go to work the next day as if nothing happened, secretly called her boyfriend and asked him to help deal with the corpse, but the hapless life force was very tenacious. He didn't die, but slowly regained his strength. After he recognized the realities of these middle-class people who were glamorous in appearance, but shameless and cruel inside, he decided to use violence to counter violence and fight back in a Jedi. He killed Mina’s boyfriend first, then shot Mina and wounded him. He had let the bad woman go, but they didn’t appreciate it, so he had no choice but to continue sending her on the road!

The director of the film, Stuart Gordon, is a master of horror. His films such as "Living Corpse", "Demon Doll", and "Mechanical Veyron" are all classics that transcend the times. The style of "Garage Fright" that he filmed in his later years is very different from his previous works. It neither shows off bloody violence nor has supernatural elements. This film is harsh, ironic, and full of black humor. It has a very unique look and feel. Although it is a small film, I watched it 3 times and I still revisit it from time to time.

Gordon died unfortunately on March 24 due to illness (multiple organ failure). He was 73 years old. "Car Crash" also became the last feature film he directed. May he go well all the way.

{Attached}The inspiration for this film comes from a real social case:

In the early morning of October 26, 2001, 25-year-old Shante Jawan Mallard drove home along Interstate 820 after a night of partying in Fort Worth, Texas. Southeast. She is drunk driving + drug driving (alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy, etc.) which impairs her judgment and slows her reaction time. When she bypassed the horseshoe curve and entered Highway 287, Mallard drove her car and ran into a man walking on a dark highway-37-year-old Gregory Biggs was ejected onto the horse. Ladd's car is covered. His head and upper body broke through the windshield and landed on the floor on the passenger side. His legs are still stuck in the windshield. At first, due to all the drugs, noise and broken glass, Mallard lost her way and she didn't even know that a person was trapped in her windshield. When she realized what had happened, she stopped the car and looked around for help. But she panicked as soon as she touched Biggs' leg. In her state of drug addiction, she didn't know what to do next. Therefore, Biggs was still trapped in the windshield, and she drove back to her home, drove into the garage, and closed the garage door behind her. She caused Biggs to bleed to death in the garage. Biggs pleaded with Mallard to help him over and over again, but Mallard, who was a nurse's assistant, insisted that she could do nothing. So she let him die. Metz testified that if Biggs received timely medical treatment, he would definitely survive.

The next night, Mallard and two friends threw Biggs' body in a nearby park. An informant told the police that she later joked about the matter. A few months later, the police received clues and found them in Mallard. After her arrest, Mallard was tried and convicted of murder. She was sentenced to 50 years in prison. Mallard's ex-boyfriend and his cousin who helped dispose of the body were sentenced to 10 and 9 years in prison respectively. After she came back from the party, she had sex with her boyfriend. He saw that Biggs was still alive but did not help. He was not prosecuted.

    I love this kind of thriller with little scenes where the contradictions stand out. It feels reasonable, and I don't think the plot is abrupt and deliberate. Sometimes people's fear can do a lot of people feel terrible
