A serial-murder aficionado and would-be bestselling author, about to set out on a cross-country tour of historic murder sites in preparation for a book (with photos by his girlfriend, a specialist in chic black-and-white erotica), advertises on a campus bulletin board for a ride-share couple (his Lincoln convertible gets only eight miles per gallon). Who should be the lone applicants for this position but a redneck serial murderer -- quelle coïncidence! -- and his dimwit girlfriend? These two characters are outfitted, by Brad Pitt and Juliette Lewis respectively, with Southern accents designed for maximum mockery and insult -- providing what little (and low) entertainment there is to be had in the movie. It is far too little, however, to stand up to the final, protracted, depressingly formulaic spree of gore. Much less to the continuous and oblivious music-video visuals. With David Duchovny and Michelle Forbes; directed by Dominic Sena. (1993) — Duncan Shepherd
