Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Arisdoddle This looks like the sort of thing horny pre-internet(and pre VCR, for that matter) teenagers who couldn't access real pr0n might use for "inspiration". That's entirely the long and short of it.The people who are proclaimng this "The best movie evah!" WERE those teenagers.End-of-story!

TheExpatriate700 When I selected this film out of a Drive-In Classics set, I was expecting a typical "don't hitchhike" exploitation / horror movie. What I actually got was something far more bizarre and interesting. Long story made short, two girls hitch a ride on a mobile home and end up stuck in the Everglades. Lots of sexual hijinks ensue.What separates this film from any number of exploitation movies are the bizarre visions experienced by one mentally disturbed character. Although they border on the nonsensical, these sequences show a level of creativity not usually associated with this genre. Furthermore, whether by careful restoration, good quality film stock, or sheer luck, the film looks far better than many mainstream films from the 70s now on DVD.That said, this film is not the work of art some fans make it out to be. The dialogue is often laughable, particularly in the case of the exasperated boss of the mobile home driver. Furthermore, the "Everglades" looks like it is actually an amusement park's safari ride- highly manicured and obviously not really wild. The sex scenes are basically soft core, and go on for so long that they become boring.Overall, I cannot recommend this movie, but at the same time, it is just weird enough to be worth a rental.

jfgibson73 The story involves three hippies taking a bus across Florida, most likely traveling along I-75. They get stuck and use the time to enjoy nature and each other.To enjoy a movie, you generally have to be willing to overlook some of the ways in which they stretch the truth (it's called suspension of disbelief). Some movies, like Raiders of the Lost Ark, are so much fun that you don't care that there is no way a human could take that much punishment, or you don't notice how many rounds the six shooter holds. Well, in this movie, there was one huge distraction I could not get over: You can NOT go for naked romps through the Everglades. There are alligators, bears, venomous snakes, insects (fire ants), and panthers (maybe only 20 or so nowadays). What's more, these animals were surely more abundant 30 years ago when there was more available habitat. They find a baby raccoon in a tree, pick it up, stroke it, and kiss it. Rabies, anyone? When they get hungry, the male hippie decides, "Let's go boar hunting!" and moments later, he creeps up to within 10 feet of a razorback, in plain sight. Lucky he had that compound bow on the bus.Most of the movie consists of easy-listening music playing as the guy rolls around the swamp with Carol, while Maureen has dark visions and flashbacks. It is done in a surreal, dream-like way, and is fairly well-photographed. The audio, however, is mixed lower than the incidental music in some scenes, making it sound more like background ambiance than dialog.In this part of Florida, even now, it isn't safe to explore undeveloped areas. So it was jaw-dropping to see these kids hanging from trees, swimming in ponds (the water would actually be brackish, not crystal clear), and rolling on the ground.

The_Void Pick-Up is a film that relies on its visuals and atmosphere rather than a plot, and the results are really not all that good. To its credit, the film does achieve what it sets out to; as it all looks very nice indeed and director Bernard Hirschenson completely succeeds in creating a trippy and surreal atmosphere. However, the film on the whole is not a big success as without a plot to rely on, it's all rather dull. The premise of the film simply focuses on two hippy chicks named Carol and Maureen who go off into the Florida everglades, hitch a lift and end up getting into all sorts of weird stuff. The film is sometimes professed to be a Grindhouse flick; this is totally not the case as the film really doesn't have any kind of edge to it. If you enjoy watching people float about pretentiously, you might get some enjoyment out of this; personally the only thing I liked about it was a handful of visuals and it's hardly enough to say that the whole film is a success. I'm actually struggling for things to say about it as the film is not very meaty. Overall, this might please some people; but it didn't do much for me.
