“Spare Parts” (** out of four) was a gory, one-note horror thriller about a female rock band (Jullian Richings, Michelle Argynis, Emily Alatalo) whose touring van breaks down on an abandoned dirt road and they are picked up by (who else?) a redneck truck driver (Jason Rouse) who takes them to his junkyard where they are pitted against one another for spectators in a bloody fight to the death. Ironically titled movie is made itself of spare parts from other movies (“Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome” and “The Hunger Games” just to name a few) but at least it’s done with some style and fervor. Plus- the performances and the girl’s music is surprisingly good.
