Add a CommentThe first half of the movie is a complete waste of time. Friends going on a road trip, the guy figuring out which girl he's gonna hit on. Once the car breaks down, it's a 4-star horror. I rate it highly because the psycho villain is just charming in his creepy humor... and so clever, with all his survivalist skills, home-made traps, and his tourist-torture fetish. And because it's so realistic. This could happen to you. I've done a lot of off-road camping, and met some dudes like this (and kept my distance). It's also satisfying to anyone annoyed with spoiled, self-absorbed young people -- they get what's coming to them! The ending offers a slight twist on the slasher genre, gender-wise.
I am numb to horror flicks as they all seem to be the "same old, same old". This one was not bad. The Australian flavor/desolate Outback added a little something to the normal humdrum routine.
It really sucked, this is a slightly different version of "The Hills Have Eyes" but not by far. Couldnt finish it.
