Roadkill (movie)

Roadkill is a 1989 film by Canadian director Bruce McDonald.

The film stars Valerie Buhagiar as Ramona, an intern at a Toronto record label who is sent to Sudbury to track down the label's star band, Children of Paradise, after they disappear on tour. Because she doesn't know how to drive, however, she takes a taxi. Once in Sudbury, she finds the band almost immediately, but then loses them again.

She subsequently tracks the band all across Northern Ontario. On her way, she encounters a variety of odd characters including an indie film director named Bruce (McDonald himself), who documents roadkill on the highway, and a wannabe serial killer named Russell (Don McKellar), who's studied the profession thoroughly but just doesn't know where to start.

Ramona finally locates the band in Thunder Bay, setting the stage for the film's climax.

Nash the Slash, Leslie Spit Treeo and Joey Ramone also make cameo appearances in the film.
