1.0 out of 5 stars The biggest waste of an hour & a half of my life., November 1, 2009

I heard good things about this movie on various horror forums so when there was a great deal on the dvd I jumped. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the beginning is unbearable. The lousy acting (if that's what you want to call it) and amateur camera work was beyond unbelievable. The girls were so annoying I wished there characters would hurry up and die. I seemed like the film was directed by ditsy high school girls who also decided to star in it. Yes that bad!!!
But I disagree with the same reviewer who said the film got better. For me it continued to be horrible in every aspect. I was truly baffled at how bad it was. I've come to the conclusion that those who gave this good reviews must be younger fans of the genre who have a much different view than us who are older.

I've rated this 1 star only because it wouldn't allow me to leave none.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly Horrible, February 15, 2009

I purchased this movie for less than $2 and am still upset about wasting my money. If you have the option of watching this movie or running your fingernails across a chalk board while chewing on aluminum foil...Go find a chalk board; it will at least be over with quicker. I can only assume that the folks that have rated this higher than one star are out for revenge...

Okay, so what type of film do we have here you ask? To be honest, we have a bunch of horror clichés, a few bad one liners, a lot of false performances, and a whole lot of unrealistic behavior by the characters. This film may have one of the coolest titles for a film but not all that much else. So what is this about and why is it so disappointing?

Well, it's the story of five girls, maybe college but most likely high school (since one says she is the only one with a license), coming back from a football game. Making sure they are on the right road, they stop at some general store in the rural part of Tennessee known as the Eyes. Unfortunately while goofing around they have a fender bender with a parked SUV leading them to panic and flee the accident. And so the setup for our film begins.

Suddenly the film becomes a chase film. The girls land up fleeing but only getting caught by our mysterious driver of the SUV. After some various disregard for human dignity, this maniac begins to do both psychological but most certainly physical harm to our five protagonists. This includes some pretty vile stuff but nothing out of the ordinary for the most recent torture horror you'd see. But our movie has way too many ridiculous items to make it compelling.

To begin with, the screenplay is just plain awful. Our would-be killer/maniac is not much of a scare. To be honest, she's just a nut, seeming to scream things about how the girls are killing her baby and that they aren't anything more than loose woman. Had our killer been a sociopath seeking revenge for the accident or some other psychopathic reason, it would have been compelling, instead she's more of an over the top caricature.

Also we have the typical overplayed horror moments: the cellphones don't work, we run out of gas, we get a flat tire, even though our maniac has a shotgun it seems to be forgotton too often. Our protagonists are really just cartoons. We have a running joke about a cremated father to the point of ridiculous (yeah, sure, people carry cremated remains in cars to football games). The girls bodily fluids seems to be main plot points. Though the maniac has a gun, the girls don't seem to keep their distance (as if the shotgun won't be used). And the last line of the movie was so pathetic, it made me just shake my head in disgust for its typical b-movie preposterousness.

Okay, so the acting is pretty bad or over the top ridiculous, the music for the film is out of place and should be elimated for this type of film, and the camera and filming techniques are like your little cousin filming in the dark, and so you'd think that alone would be reason enough not to watch this film. But that's just the beginning since had the story been good and the protagonists weren't cartoons, we'd have had a decent film either way. As a result, I cannot really recommend much here. It isn't all that frightening, its not well done, and the characters are terribly written with too many artificial or silly moments.

For the DVD there are no extras and so that itself makes it even more of a disappointment. For the folks that are big fans and into the exploitation part of horror there is no nudity here. So this movie really seems to be for no one.
