Stuck was one of the best surprises of last year, a wonderfully macabre and worrying B-movie based on the true story of a Texan woman who ran over a homeless man and then drove home with him 'stuck' in her windshield (still alive). She garaged her car, and had sex with her boyfriend. Though embellished for the screen, knowledge that much of the absurdity on display really happened makes it all the more appealing. Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, Fortress) manages to stay true to the B-movie material, with tight plotting and some truly cringe-inducing, gooey moments as Stephen Rea's homeless man struggles to free himself. Increasingly tense with a sly dose of black comedy, what ultimately impresses is the sense of melancholy that strings the whole thing together whether in sympathy for the victim or puzzlement of how someone could wrong-do an innocent so horribly.
Stuck is out on UK DVD and BluRay on the 11th May through High Fliers Films.
Extras are: Commentary with Stuart Gordon, Mena Suvari and screen writer John Strysik, Making of Stuck.

Love Stuart Gordon, but this was one bad movie.
