Actually not bad (NO SPOILERS)

I stumbled across this movie randomly, and I saw the IMDB score was decent. Overall, it’s not bad

The movie makes-do with little. The cast is entirely unknown and limited, and most of the movie takes place on a desolate road. But the movie is suspenseful, the sheriff is repulsive, and the lead actress isn’t hard to root for. The run time is just right. It’s reminiscent of the movies Joy Ride and Wrecker .

There are several flaws though: the lead actress isn’t a good actress. There are times when the camera focuses on her while she’s in the car, and her attempts to act scared and/or panicky are not done well. The plot is good at the start when they focus on a cat-and-mouse game between the sheriff and the lead actress, but near the end, it goes a little left field, in a direction that I didn’t like (I won’t spoil and say more). Some convos between characters drag on a little too long (eg the lead actress and a certain diner worker)

5.5/10
