Plots(1)
After losing her father and best friend in less than a year, wallflower Amy decides she won't watch life pass her by one more day. Taking cues from her flawlessly sexy neighbor Brooke, Amy attempts to flirt with her muscle car driving boyfriend, Jason. Ever the mean girl, Brooke vindictively takes it upon herself to remind Amy just how insignificant she is in this world. With the help of her nurse Mother, Amy goes under the knife. Now a dead ringer for Brooke, Amy makes her move for Jason. Meanwhile, deep down the forgotten stretches of back road where the cool kids race their cars, two deranged brothers, Darryl and Jon Roy intercept 911 calls in their father's beat up old ambulance to exact medical atrocities on victims. When a careless car accident befalls Brooke and Jason, Amy gets caught in the fallout. Amy always wanted her neighbor's life, but she may get her neighbor's fate. (official distributor synopsis)

I was expecting quite a lot from Old 37 (impressive trailer, appealing leading duo), but in the end it turned out to be just better than average. Despite the very short running time, the film is unnecessarily devoted to teenage boys, which is a damn shame, because especially Kane Hodder is an asshole that commands a fair amount of respect. It's filmed quite competently, there's a nice soundtrack, but it's a shame that most of the deaths are off screen, so I'm not too happy with the brutality. I was expecting a return to 2008-09, when the best slasher and exploitation flicks were made, but that didn't happen. The line “Don't worry I am Paramedic” was heard maybe twenty times in the film and it was getting annoying. Story 4/10, Atmosphere 6/10, Gore 4/10, Visuals 6/10, Action 5/10, Entertainment 6/10. 60%

It would be nice to at least say that "Old 37" is a case of decent craftsmanship, but it's not. Here it's just playing on the fact that there are a few moderately appealing scenes, especially during the traffic accidents where you'll feel like you're in a bloodbath, but okay, exaggeration is fine. However, overall, the storyline is terribly banal, and it's just about steering the young towards massacre. Nothing new, nothing interesting, just old tracks that are already quite rusty.
