    Low budget horror that makes the most of its limitations; it delivers the requisite shocks with a black, comic touch.

    You Have to watch this--READ ON

    I loved this film.

    It's not tacky and yes the dialogue is hilarious and the whole film is shot tastfully.

    I jumped 3x and I love horror and with films like 'Cabin fever' & 'Wrong turn' this is So much better and has exceeded my expectations.

    I must admit I was halfway through watching this thinking'what is this' I was also scared it was going to be one of those stupid endings but you will be nicely suprised as it all fits together and ties everything together.

    Well worth a watch its fun and not too gory but in parts is really scary and spooky.Trust me what have you got to LOSE!

    Some Wonderful Moments

    A great atmosphere. You really feel their plight - trapped in their car and the endless night, gradually running out of fuel. And there's something out there that wants to get them.

    A little gory, a little weak in places. But littered with great moments, and sections of genuine horror. Finishing with a very good ending.

    Worth watching for the orgasm scene alone. Not a good scene, but shockingly bad taste and the one thing that you'll never forget about this film.
