Couldn't be better. The whole road trip just went to hell. Fun horror that can be enjoyed by so many. Perfect one to watch with those who aren't big horror movie fans but don't mind the odd one. This is the one to watch.
This flick wasn't created to be compared to the best horror/suspense movies, but to entertain the audience - and it does!Low budget, a little cheesy, but definitely fun to watch.No political or social justice messages preached to the audience - a huge plus.
Don't know why it's rated 6.7 and I wonder if those possitive reviews are bought! Bad acting with bad actors. Script is mainstream, below average and so easy to predict. It's like a soap movie from 80s. Don't waste your time watching this, I have to turn if off after 25mins since I don't want to waste my precious time on such a failure. Acting is plain, stupid and the character reactions in the movie are unbelievable. If you want to watch a more scary movie, go to youtube and search for some creepy footages or folkores because this movie is even worse than that.
I originally wanted to give this movie a 5/10, but there are a few attributes that make this film unique enough to bump it up, For one thing, it has a more traditional acting style, such as long takes, and dynamic psychological turmoil that the characters display. It also displays an ambiguity that gives the viewer a chance to think and interpret the film.Quoting someone on the forums, this film definitely feels inspired by David Lynch in both good and bad ways. There was a lot wrong with this film though, in my opinion. There is repetition, predictability and nothing 'spectacular' about it **outside** of Ray Wise who definitely anchors this film - that man is brilliant.
