I appreciate this type of film for it's simplicity. The actors are a bit green, the editing could have been tightened-up, the scoring could have intensified certain scenes and I might have enjoyed a bit more expansion or backstory on the masked ones. It had elements not too far removed from TCM and Hills/Eyes, but the suspense was a bit subdued and the antihero iconography couldn't seem to find it's footing. Nonetheless, nothing really pulled me out of the story and I enjoyed it for what it is - a novice indie road thriller that managed to tell it's tale without Hollywood money or big-name actors. So, for me, this film didn't suck at all, and unlike other reviews, I don't hold it up to any expectations. I know what it takes to get a film made and even tougher to get some kind of distribution - theatrical or not - so, hat's off to the filmmakers for a decent ride. Keep rockin'!
