This fim is by far nothing original but it still has some really good things about it.
The story overall is very cliché and begins with a hitchhiker (Phoebe Dollar) hitching a ride from a really creepy preacher. The preacher decides to kill her by poisoning her. After that he buries her but right after that he begins to hear vocies from her. Is she really dead?
Cut to a couple of friends on a car trip through the desert road on their way to California. Right from the get go I though these characters were gonna be an absolute nightmare to follow but hear me out, even though the might at first come across as unlikable douchebags the longer into the film you get the more you start to care about them and their attempt at survival. They pick up the same girl that we saw in the intro and right after that all hell breaks loose.
I'll leave the soryline right there since I don't want to spoil anything else.
For a low budget film I have to say I was gladly surprised. The acting overall was ok (the better one being Phoebe Dollar) and we also get a really funny cameo by Ron Jeremy and his demise is truly something that gorehounds will love! Speaking of gore, this film has some really awesome and cool splatter and gore effects, I would also say this is the biggest highlight of the film, since we see both awesome gunshot wounds, swinging chainsaws and more! The cinematography is pretty good, lighing is also good and we do get a couple of really cool atmospheric shots with a bunch of fog machines doing what they do best (makes me think of 80's horror films in general).
If there's something I have to complain about it has to be sound and audio which sometimes does seem a little glitchy but I can let that go since it didn't bother me that much.
The biggest complaint I have with the film is the ending which in my opinion was incredibly stupid and irritating. It felt like the director had seen really many horror films that ended with a twist but I would've thought this one would be so much better if it didn't end with a twist.
I will end this review by saying that if you like low budget films with great gore and splatter effects, this one's for you! Also don't let yourself get fooled by the fact that it is a Brain Damage Films production, most of their films tend to be garbage but this is one of few occations which I thought this felt more like a Full Moon or heck even a Troma film to a certain degree.
My rating: 6 out of 10.
