Wrong Way

About This Movie

So, 'Wrong Way' is this curious little film from 1979 that dives into a future where dinosaurs are still around, but in a rather peculiar context. It’s not really about the dinosaurs, but rather a commentary on the automobile as a modern dinosaur, teetering on the edge of extinction. The tone has this eerie calmness, a slow burn that leaves you contemplating the fate of both the species and our reliance on these machines. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a charming quality that adds to the film's unique atmosphere. There's this almost surreal vibe that makes you ponder what’s really thriving and what’s on its way out, even if it seems alive.

This film has a rather limited release history, which can make it a bit of a treasure for collectors. It’s not widely available in various formats, and finding a decent copy can be a challenge. Interest seems to be growing among those who appreciate oddball cinema from the late '70s, especially with its distinctive themes that resonate with environmental concerns today.
