5 college kids on their way to a rave are trapped at an eerie travel oasis in a deserted town in the desert and must unravel the mystery behind their visions of dying people while they are preyed upon by a decaying creature.An interesting horror film, I found myself thinking that everything wasn't fitting together and it just didn't make sense, but a nice twist at the end turned on the light bulb and made it a pretty watchable film. I won't ruin the fun with spoilers, so check it out for yourself. It did remind me a whole lot of another horror film I've seen, but to say which one would also ruin the fun.
The film is pretty cliched all the way through, with one dimensional characters behaving in irrational ways like most of these slasher type flicks. The cast is pretty decent though really as I found most of the characters likeable. Smokin' hot Arielle Kebbel (John Tucker Must Die, The Grudge 2) provides some eye-candy and veteran actor Michael Ironside gives the performances a bit of weight I thought. The killer (aka the Reeker character) was really odd and I guess sort of original really. There's enough for the gore lovers to like and it's pretty well shot.
It's not gonna win any Oscars, but it's a good time-killer for horror fans. You could do much worse.
5.5/10
