Ridgeback08 A middle aged Dad and frustrated Mom head off to France for a camping driving trip in a vintage car. Now one has to ask the question as to why one would go on a long distance trip in a 33 year old car (as of the movie release in 2006). This choice of vehicle is especially true if one is not prepared to repair said vehicle. The Dad must like tinkering with cars. Guess what, the guy collects and restores them. But then they run into an overly friendly couple who first befriends them and then stalks them. Slowly, oh so slowly, the couple realise that the couple are after their kids. Fortunately, the stalkers are not that bright. But then, neither are the camping couple. Watching this min-series movie will lower your IQ.

joanna_goldhagen I stumbled across this show one night when there was nothing of particular interest on and within minutes I was hooked. The first part had me enthralled as I was on edge as to when the creepy couple would appear again, and right from the second they appear on screen you know they have something to hide. The disturbing settings added a great deal of atmosphere to the brilliantly carried off plot. The second part of the drama was absolutely captivating, not since Drew Barrymore in Scream have I ever been jumping up and down for the victim to escape. Although, granted the victim in this case was mostly the teenage daughter Rachel (Emily Beecham)who struck me as looking in her early twenties rather than sixteen, you still sat on the edge of your seat desperate to see her escape from the psychotic couples clutches. The parents of the victims were superbly cast and although the mother's indecisive knowledge of French- quite frankly if you only know a few words and not how to construct a sentence then you do not qualify to knowing a bit of the language- was a little irritating, the plot was captivating enough to overshadow these little problems. Mostly this drama has highly confirmed it in my head to avoid making friends with slightly odd couples and to not invest in "classic" cars, as it appears to be the dodgy cars fault that half of the incidences occur. Thoroughly enjoyable and perfect evening drama.

EsmeraldaHugo An engaging example of the genre of TV drama/thriller. The Alders with their 2 children are on a camping holiday in France and befriend a slightly odd couple at a camp site who then keep appearing everywhere they go. The odd couple's son apparently goes missing and the Alders start trying to avoid the odd couple. Events take a creepy turn . . .Without giving the plot away, all I would say is that this was a well acted and quite gripping drama and much more original than a lot of the 2 parters that are seen on ITV these days.There are a couple of minor 'she/he would never have done that' moments but if you are prepared to engage with the suspension of disbelief then they aren't so major as to spoil the viewer's enjoyment.

robertconnor Whilst on holiday in France, Mr. and Mrs. Stupid meet Mr. and Mrs. Creepy on a campsite. However, what begins as a seemingly ordinary encounter soon spirals into a nightmare, culminating in abduction and carnage.Whoever cast this turkey apparently doesn't have a family themselves... the Stupids make for a ridiculously unbelievable family unit. 16 year old Rachel Stupid appears to be played by an actress in her twenties, which makes all her scenes and interactions with other characters unintentionally hilarious. Meanwhile, the writer has created one daft situation after another... Mr. Stupid is a professional classic car specialist, but can't even recognise a flat tyre whilst driving his 73 Mercedes, let alone understand why the car is struggling to start as they disembark from the ferry (i.e. 'doh! I thought I'd fixed that starter motor/distributor/fuel pump'). Mrs. Stupid can't decide whether she can speak french or not - fortunately for the Stupids, all the police they meet are only pretending they can't speak English! We quickly establish that the Stupids have two mobile phones in their possession, yet when they run someone over,and subsequently crash off the road during a stressed night drive, given they have already met with the police, do they call for assistance? With a body lying across the road, does anyone wait by it in case another motorist drives along? Of course not! Mr. and Mrs. Stupid go wandering off into the forest, leaving the kids in the car. Alone. In the dark... Mind you, by this stage Rachael Blake and Ben Miles have probably sussed that Emily Beecham is actually about 25, and is therefore old enough to look after herself and her 'brother'. Oops! As the Creepies, Ripley and Ryan are full on spooky and skewed from the outset, practically screaming 'WE'RE UNBALANCED PSYCHO'S WHO WANT YOUR KIDS' from the moment the Stupids meet them. Accordingly, there's nowhere for them to go but completely OTT, and that's exactly where they end up...It would have been different if the Stupids had been written and played as a likable family, with whom we could sympathise. As it is, this viewer was left rooting for the Creepies! So, utter nonsense then... but great fun!
