In a small New Mexico town, a 17-year-old high school girl who just got her driver’s license gets into her first fender bender, innocently exchanging her personal information with an apologetic stranger. Later that stormy night, she is joined in her desolate suburban home by a couple of her school friends who try their best to make a night out of it, only to be visited by the stranger she so willingly handed all of her information to — a terrifying and bizarre serial killer who stalks the country’s endless miles of roads and streets with his old rusty car, hungrily searching for his next unsuspecting victim.
I sure am glad synth scores have been making a comeback lately. Seems like Fender Bender is going out its way to feel like an eighties slasher with its unique car accident gimmick, attempt at an iconic killer mask and weapon, and of course that dope eighties synth goodness. Seems to hit all the marks for a classic slasher, can’t wait to see how it turns out.
Catch Fender Bender airing now on Chiller.
