Two guys called Gerry drive into the desert. They leave their car to walk the rest of the way to see the 'thing'. They get lost. It should be the most boring film in the history of film making. And yet it is insanely compelling. Two guys lost in the deseert. No more story to it than that. No action. No suspence. Just the insane compulsion to keep watching these two guys and see what happens next. We are never even told what the 'thing' was. I have no idea why I enjoyed this but in a bizarrely weird way it is fascinating.
