Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

When Sandra and Rebecca borrow a car for a weekend adventure, the girls decide to go for a car trip to the country for sun, fun and relaxation! However, when they take a shortcut that lands them smack dab in the middle of nowhere and their car breaks down, an adventure begins that may be the very last one they take. When a tow truck happens by the stranded car, but what seems like a god-send quickly turns into a nightmare. The "good" people at the gas station act oddly, hiding something that the girls could not have ever imagined…a deep, dark skeleton…named Junior…and Junior wants playthings to keep him happy.

1.0 out of 5 stars This is the worst movie I have ever seen., September 16, 2003

By	"mrgardenback" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

I watch a lot of independent horror movies, and this is by far the worst one I have ever seen. It's so bad that it isn't even enjoyable to sit around with your friends and make fun of it. It oozes badness from every pitted contrived pore of its withered 90 minute bulk. There is not one moment in this entire movie that is the least bit inventive. The dialogue is so bad that you'll want to grind a pen in your ear until you feel the sweet embrace of permanent deafness. It's a hilariously low-budget combination of tired cliches from other, better movies. Now, I rented Junior, and after just ten minutes into the movie I began to suspect that I had made a terrible mistake. At the end, not only was I depressed that I had wasted five bucks, I was depressed that I had wasted nearly two hours of my life. The only scene in the movie that's worth anything at all is the bizarre car scene, and even that is ruined when we get to see the dumb monster that looks like something a sugar-addled middle schooler would draw in a textbook margin. If you buy this movie, you will live to regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Get Out of the Car!, August 21, 2003

By	Sir Jub-Jub (Sir Jub-Jub's Lair, Alaska) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

"Junior" tells of a lesbian couples unfortunate run-in with the title character at some off road area in a foreign country. The film tries to remind us of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and others of its ilk by portraying a disturbed family and various scenes of torture and unease. There are two main problems with the film; one, the first half hour or so is really boring as we retread old plotlines of getting lost and the car breaking down. Two, an overly, overly, overly long scene concerning one of the girls being harrassed by an unseen "thing" while in the car. This scene almost made me give up on the film but I am glad I stuck with it as things pick up considerably in the last half. This part of the presentation is truly disturbing and gruesome in a TCM kind of way and makes the movie worth watching. The title character is memorable as is his chosen instrument of destruction. Not a lot of gore but some things do get a little messy. Overall, "Junior" is no classic but has enough going on to make it worth your time.

2.0 out of 5 stars Junior......., March 4, 2006

By	S.M. "horror buff" (Louisiana) - See all my reviews

My review: Not a good horror movie by any means. Oh, the box leads you to believe it will be but it's not! There is gore/blood which makes me give it a 2 star. In a nutshell-- 2 women go on a road trip and their car breaks down. Along comes a tow truck and they think they have been saved. Wrong. One woman gets killed and the other is left to face Junior..... a sad pathetic killer wearing a mask. We learn that it's junior's father that has made him this way. The remaining woman must fight to save her life. I'm glad I only rented this movie and didn't go out and buy it. I've seen worse but I've seen alot better!!
