“Breakdown Lane” (** out of four) was a well-made but empty, by-the-numbers horror thriller about a young girl (Whitney Moore) whose car breaks down in the desert and is besieged by the walking dead and militant rednecks and has to fight and overcome both to find her way back home. Directors Bob Schultz and Robert Conway show some promise in their visual style and stagings but unfortunately- the story has little novelty and thus no surprise and no impact. At least it’s brief at only 70 minutes but you should still watch either “Resident Evil” or “The Walking Dead” instead.
