An American family go on a Road Trip to California. Thanks to the enthusiastic father, they take the 'scenic route' under the premise that it will be FUN. They end up slap bang in the middle of the desert with one broken wheel, no communication and a long night ahead of them.There are some properly disturbing moments in this film and when our 'hero' is being pursued I did find myself holding my breath, trying to help him stay hidden! This is a great horror and there are some really, really gruesome moments – you'll love it!
SECOND OPINION: Now we're talking! As we've said before, remakes aren't really our things but since I never rated the original, there was nothing to lose. Like many horror films, it sets up the big scares by regularly showing the evildoers doing unspeakably evil things...I mean, they eat a little budgie at one point! What next? When things kick off later in the film, you literally have no idea how far the film-makers are prepared to push things. And trust us, they're prepared to push things pretty damn far. This film is sick, twisted, violent, gory and fantastic. It's old school horror and I loved it.
