John Crane Coincidently I just came back from a road trip when rented this lovely piece of art. I knew right away it would be a horrible film. In fact, I knew I should have watched it or rent it a second time just to watch it. I did and I wasted 1 hour and 10 minutes of my life with this one. It's about a sexy female hitchhiker who is a homicidal maniac and kills anybody who picks her up *cough The Hitchhiker* but when a group of teens decide to take revenge and murder her, she keeps popping up behind every other bend. I will say this, it seems like somebody had already tried this clever idea and worked. Um, I think his name was Rodger Andrieux. This rendition is a lot gorier and sadistic, practically S&M.With that I will rant about its fatalities. The acting is atrocious. I can't stress that enough. I thought that I was watching a horrible ABC Family movie that had a psychotic twist. However, with these sorts of b-movies and indie movies you can't expect outstanding and award winning acting, which I can forgive this time. But the looks of said homicidal vixen kind of distracts from the poor acting, but its still, nevertheless, there and annoying.The set, being a highway and its shoulders, are obviously low-budget but I will give them the benefit of the doubt, they did conserve a lot of money that way. The cinematography was horrendous. I think it was more of a satire of driving movies and travel films that it was trying to be creative, and that in its own sense is creative. But nonetheless, still was pretty sucky.These were very crucial elements to the plot and wellbeing of the movie and I think that not having those key elements kind of spell death to the whole film, no pun intended. However the excessive gore (i.e. dragging intestines on the road) made up for a little less than half of the damage. The gore was cheesy but its not the design than it is more of the principle. The gore was there as well as the action that caused it. I liked it. But what is excessive, unnecessary gore with out the sadism and masochism? Well this female has it all doesn't she? I think that these ingredients saved the film for some audience but not for me. To a point it was ridiculous.I was completely sideswiped by this road thriller and in turn I thought it was a little less than okay. The acting was horrible, as well as the cinematography was terrible as well as the overall picture of the movie but the sex, gore and masochism saved it for some audiences. The ending was sort of a shocker, which I will give it that. Overall, I would recommend this movie to cult horror movie fans but not professional horror fans. It was sort of a waste of time and didn't meet its standards.

rixrex This nifty little NO BUDGET shocker was a surprise to me. It was made by talented kids but still they're kids and it shows. There's a lot of stuff that's either lifted from other films, or supposed to be in homage to other films. You'll know it when you see it, and this is typical of kids just starting out making films. They have this whole sensibility that it's funny and hip to reference other films in their work, little "in jokes" that their social circle all get. The interviews with cast and crew at the end show this level of immaturity. Still, there's enough original stuff here to make it worth seeing. I got this because of the nice box art and well written synopsis, but when I saw it was shot on video, and not even very good video, I thought it was a mistake to watch. But I gave it a chance and was surprised at the many good points, and of course it is uneven yet there's enough good in it to give congrats to the writer/director for coming up with a literate and interesting script with a nice plot twist that's totally unexpected. Good acting by Ms. Dollar as the evil "entity", and some good grisly effects, though I wish she had handled the chainsaw a little better. Plus there's not really any slow or tedious points. It would be interesting to see the director do this again but in about 15-20 years when he's grown up and got more experience and a bigger budget to shoot it on film or HD. The basic story is literate enough to do it again and make the weak parts stronger, cut out the silliness and kid stuff, give it an overall sense of maturity and really develop the twist ending more. It's actually a good enough weirdo story to rank with the film stories of DePalma and Stephen King. Anyway, you won't be bored.

misfit146 The quality of this movie sucks... I mean, this movie takes low budget to an all new low. This film appears to have been shot with someone's home camcorder. The acting sucks and the "special effects" were just terrible. When we saw Ron Jeremy's name listed in the beginning, we decided to trudge through this muck, in order to see his role in the film. After that, we shut it off because neither of us could stand to watch anymore of this poorly done attempt at a movie. So, if you're looking for a good horror flick, pass this one up. If you're looking for a good laugh, pass this one up. If you're looking for high quality good acting, pass this one up. If you hate your life and you want to hate it even more, and enjoy putting yourself through miserable experiences, then this is the movie for you.

ditship This movie started out OK. When the preacher takes a shovel to the head causing a HUGE explosion of blood I thought: "Hey, that looked incredibly bad, this might be fun to watch!" Oh, how I was wrong.. so very, very wrong. From horrible acting to special affects that were done by 5th graders with a 10 dollar budget (they got a pizza) this movie was a nightmare. Just wait till you get to the scene consisting of matchbox cars crashing into a plastic gas station. What the hell was that anyway? Bad news folks. Bad news.
