Horrible fucking movie. The worst movie Ive seen this year. This includes lame comedies, straight to dvd horror trash and even some kid movies. I was so disappointed with this movie especially after all the positive reviews Ive read of it. Dont believe the hype. This is straight ultra low budget horror that could have easily been filmed in one evening. The acting is straight horrendous pitiful. They had to be kids off the street or friends of the director. Theres no way 5 actresses can be individually and collectively that bad. It doesnt help that the dialogue was super cheesy or to the other extreme trying to be too smart. Was there anything redeeming of this movie? No i cant say there was. The script was unoriginal, the camera work was shoddy and almost impossible to tell what was going on. There was huge gaps of logic, and to boot we only see one person die!
The movie is about a group of 5 annoying high school girls on the way home from a football game. They get lost out in the country and they find a local dive to ask directions. When they leave they hit a parked suv and bust out the headlight. Scared to get in trouble the girls drive off into the night. They continue to be lost and within minutes the suv with the one headlight starts chasing them. Once they are forced to pull over a crazy woman pulls out a shotgun and threatens their life. The rest of the movie is the girls being chased by the crazy lady, forced to stop and run, back in the car and repeat. All the while the camera never leaves the inside of the kids van.
The movie is suppose to be terrifying and horrific but i was nothing but bored and nauseated from the shaky cam and horrible acting. Wow this movie did nothing for me at all. The conclusion with the killer was unsatisfying and not even realistic of what the girls would have really done in that situation. I cant help but say stay away from this at all costs! On a scale of 1-10 I give this a "chick crapping in hand and throwing at car" 1.2 out of 10.

Heres the trailer
