here is a brief outline of this movie....girl finds other girl chained inside abandoned schoolbus. weird guy drives girls to a castle (!) in the desert (!?)...some confusing scenes, girls walk around castle for 20 minutes of film's running time, more confusing scenes, inbred/cannibal character introduced and never explained...more confusion, some doctor shows up to try to explain the point of the film; cant tell if hes a good guy or not. you know what, i cant go on with this review. im probably confusing you. this is REALLY one to avoid, oh boy is it ever...

The movie cover gives this movie wayyyyyyyyy too much credit. I honestly saw the box and figure it had to be good because of the front cover. Boy, was I wrong!!! My fiance wanted to continue watching it, which I felt was a punishment for something I must've done to him. The girls acting truly sucked!!! Big time!!! It was ridiculous!! I bought this movie for $5.00 at Walmart and I am really sad I can't get my money back.

Only the first 10. min's of the movie is good. Very spooky. The rest of it. No good. The movie is very slow alot of times. Some gore. Not much. Bad acting.

....the script had to have been written by a third grader, the acting is worse than anything I have ever seen....I could go on and on.

Don't waste your time on this....'nuff said.

I love a good horror movie. With the emphasis on GOOD. This one is anything BUT good. Granted, the first 10 minutes or so (when the bus is found on a dark dirt road) has some good tension and scares. But after that, the movie hits rock bottom. Our two "victims" spend most of the next day taking their time to look around this castle they are driven to, all while talking about going "clubbing" together once this ordeal is over. Come on already. Get scary! Nope. It isn't to be. And what scares they TRY to hit you with at the end of the movie are laughable. A sad excuse for a horror movie. Skip this one, save your money and time.

Okay, this is a very low-budget film, shot on what looks like amateur home video in the desert. Probably all of the budget went towards renting the house, makeup effects, and hiring the hot girl (yes, the lead actress is quite a dish). And there are aspects of the plot that cry out for rewrites. But I didn't feel like I was wasting my time watching it (and not just because 90% of the film is footage of a smoking hot actress in skimpy clothes). It had atmosphere in spades, and heaping helpings of paranoia. Many people forget that horror films aren't just about gore and "gotcha scenes" (I hate those, so so cheap) but about psychological horror. The director of this film is clearly capable of good horror film-making, of building tension and setting the mood, and of convincingly establishing a location. I'd like to see him spend more time on a more solid script for his next movie. There are two major flaws with the plot. The first is the opening phone sex scene. I almost didn't watch the movie because of this. The second is one or two "the-killer-who-really-ought-to-be-dead-because-he's-been-shot-and-stabbed-so-much-but-is-mysteriously-still-alive-and-threatening" moments near the end.

Truly abysmal attempt at film-making! The semblance of a script is horrible...no one is guilty of good acting...it makes no sense at all..it's really a bad movie. Avoid!

It might had something to do with me being intoxicated when me and my fiance watched the movie, but this is not a good one. i am a sucker for horror movies but at the end of this movie i was confused and dissapointed. like the other review...the beginning was ok. i actually thought it started pretty cool but then it got worse each minute.the acting was pretty bad and the dialogues didnt go very far. and at times i really didnt know what was going on. save yourself the trouble. anything but this.:-)

I WOULD GIVE THIS MOVIE "0" STARS, ONE OF THE WORST SO CALL HORROR MOVIES I'VE EVER VIEWED, THE ENDING WAS VERY DISAPPOINTING, MUCH OF IT DID NOT MAKE SENSE, WHO WAS THE WEIRD PRIEST OR MONK OR WHATEVER HE WAS? WHO WAS THE PREGNANT WOMAN TIED TO THE BED? THIS MOVIE COMPLETELY LOST ME. I'M STILL MAD.

a fat guy chases two young girls (one very hot) around a castle in the califorina desert. how bad can that be? actually pretty bad but the girls keep things somewhat interesting and there's some gore and a few laughs along the way. the movie never really tries to make any sense but for some reason with this one that didn't bother me at all. as redbox rentals go, i've seen worse. how's that for a recommendation.
