Bridge to Nowhere (1986)

Wonderful character development!

A Major Disappointment

A Disappointing Continuation

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Set in New Zeland's wilderness "Bridge to Nowhere" takes place in and around an actual unfinished bridge which was abandoned in the mid-1920s. Five obnoxious and noisy teenagers head into the woods to cross the bridge and set the camping.Unfortunately local mountain dweller is not happy to see them.He decides to hunt down the kids like animals and the blood begins to flow."Bridge to Nowehere" is a tense survival horror with some exciting stalking scenes and a bit of nasty violence.The villain is an interesting character as is his mentally unstable girlfriend.If you are a fan of "Deliverance","Rituals" or "Just Before Dawn" check out this unjustifiably forgotten survival classic with beautiful and lush scenery of North New Zealand.9 out of 10.

Greetings from Lithuania.An independent movie that is actually leaves to Nowhere.I saw it when there was nothing to watch on late TV, so this movie was a little surprise for my. I was already falling asleep, but this movie got my attention somehow. Don't get my wrong, there's absolutely nothing special in this movie, only a beautiful landscape, some nice acting and disturbing killings.I don't recommend this movie because you won't see here nothing special or very interesting. But if you have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do and there is nothing good on TV, watch it.

"Bridge to Nowhere" starts out in typical fashion. Five teens head out of their city element for a backwoods quest to find the infamous "bridge to nowhere". What they find in addition to the bridge is Bruno Lawrence and his captive teenage "bride", Alison Rutledge. The first half of the movie is straightforward hormone driven drivel, including a skinny dipping and peeper scene. Once the teen leader is confronted by a now very angry hermit, the film kicks into high gear. Genuine excitement follows as the "invaders" are driven from the hermit's domain. The violence is sudden and unpredictable. If you like hunted in the woods movies, you will enjoy "Bridge to Nowhere" - MERK

This movie might catch your attention in the video store. Being a huge Bruno Lawrence fan, I liked it.Five city kids cross the land of a hermit while on a hiking trip. They muck up his property and sense of tranquility. This irks him, and he turns out to be a very vicious and dangerous person, especially when angry. He then proceeds to follow their every move and make the remainder of their vacation a living nightmare. Sound familiar? A basic plot for a lot of films, but this one was fairly well done. Bruno makes a decent bad guy. The relationship between him and his "girlfriend" and their characterizations could have been done better, but that's overlookable. The main focus is on the story and chases.The photography of the lovely New Zealand countryside in the film is a plus.See this one if you have time to kill.** 1/2 out of ****
