Roadkill is a film by Canadian director Bruce McDonald, filmed and released in 1989. In a review of the film's soundtrack album, the website Allmusic calls the film "an increasingly weird mix of Heart of Darkness and The Wizard of Oz".
The film was inspired by the Toronto rock band A Neon Rome. McDonald's original idea was to make a concert film following that band on tour; however, the band's lead singer, Neal Arbik, became disillusioned with the demands of touring to promote the band's debut album. His behaviour became increasingly erratic and rebellious over the course of the tour, and he ultimately quit the music industry before the film — or the band's second album — could be made.
Instead, the film became a fictionalized portrayal of A Neon Rome, depicting a band on the verge of collapsing in a similar manner.
The film stars Valerie Buhagiar as Ramona, an intern at a Toronto record label who is sent to Sudbury by promoter Roy Seth (Gerry Quigley) 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 driven by Buddy (Larry Hudson) for the entire 400-km route.

Genres: Action, Sport,Be sure to cover my eyes when we round that corner
where we stood just inside the lines one long goodbye
ago.
one backward glance. bloody roadkill calling.
I can't resist. I never could.
And now just look around.
There is no sign of us anywhere.
There never was.
Drove around with you all night. Angry hamsters spinning
in our cages.
Still angriest the backseat driver, softly:
'Can't you drive a little faster?'
Then daring us to come what may.
And now just look around.
There is no sign of us anywhere.
There never was.
