Charlie and Buzi are ghost enthusiasts fascinated by the legend of the scariest road in America, Mt. Misery Road. The couple continues their adventure to the woods until they realize they got into a whirlpool of paranormal activities.

“Thatu0026#39;s no joke. This film is a bad Blair Witch Project knockoff except that this one takes place during the daytime. And apparently this movie was shot with a cell phone …because nobodyu0026#39;s ever done that before. Basically this movie is just an hour and fifteen minutes of a medium shot of these two people talking at the camera with clever dialogue such as Chuck saying, u0026quot;look at that, isnu0026#39;t that cool?u0026quot; and his wife replying with, u0026quot;thatu0026#39;s spooky.u0026quot; This is pretty much the extent of the dialogue as it is annoyingly rephrased and repeated for the next hour plus. Absolutely NOTHING happens for the first 40-45 minutes of the film. It takes most of the movie before this couple of supposed u0026quot;ghost enthusiastsu0026quot; even make it to Mt. Misery Road. But along the way they meet an extensive cast of full of one enthusiastic actor who looks and sounds as though he really didnu0026#39;t want to do this movie. Just like the ghost enthusiasts, this man apparently lives in Florida too, but ironically grew up near Mt Misery Road (what a coincidence) and gives his totally non-cliché version of the Youu0026#39;re-All-Doomed speech. When they finally get to Mt. Misery Road all they do is wander around aimlessly in the woods until one of them is killed (…or just falls down, I couldnu0026#39;t really tell because all the action takes place off screen). Theyu0026#39;re supposedly lost in the woods but as the busty blonde swings the camera (phone) around, we can clearly see a structure of some kind in the background with working lights. But since this sounds like the set up for a dumb blonde joke, Iu0026#39;ll just consider this cinematic goof part of the comic relief. This movie is just another example of someone who bought some editing software, read the manual and now thinks heu0026#39;s a qualified filmmaker. He wrote it, produced it, directed it, acted in it, did the camerawork and editing for it. When one person does it all, that always results in a good quality film. After you finish the journey youu0026#39;ll agree that Misery Road is an appropriate name for this movie.”
