This spooky RV doesn't care if...
donttouchmeprimate28 September 2018
You were on the OC or even if you were married to Charlie Sheen, it WANTS TO KILL YOU!

I'm not going to beat around any smelly bushes here. It's bad. It's REALLY bad. But, if you watch this as a comedy with a few beers, you'll have a great time. So give that a try.

Terrible movie.
james-237431 January 2019
Some atmospheric score and wonderfully shot visuals but everything else .. every-thing; the writing, the acting, the story, terrible ... as a violent and gory slash thriller thingo ... almost laughable in its beyond B movie position ... yeah, a polished B movie ... but don't bother.

Worth a watch
chinoisback19 March 2019
Ok so there is a lot of 1 and 2 star reviews here but this movie really isn't that bad! If you like horror movies that can be a little made for TV this one falls into that category.

Yes, Denise Richards has been to see a plastic surgeon but she sure looks good for her age! Acting wise is a little dramatic at times but hey go with it!

Story wise it's a little cliche and cheesy but there are still enough shocks and surprises amongst the bad decisions and predictability to keep you entertained for 90 mins.

Give it a chance if you want an easy to watch fun horror movie.

Vacation of illogical decisions
jenniferlynn-4955529 November 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I'm going to try and keep this short. What the hell is this? The choices these people made were absurd! The reactions following these choices were unreal. Grandpa buys a used RV and takes his family on a trip through a desolate desert. Right there sounds like a plan. No need to check to make sure things work like the windows, radio and I don't know the engine! People die and then there is such dramatic acting like a mexican soap opera and then nothing, all is forgotten. You see a dead girl on a tv, that doesn't work btw, that has taped you like a nanny cam, please don't tell anyone. The fresh food you put in the fridge along with the water is molded or brown, please don't mention it. You see a man peak through the window after the little girl is run over, no keep it to yourself. I can't talk about this anymore. The dog was the luckiest to get out first which like with eveything else was forgotten as well. So dumb... so so dumb.

Just terrible
bertspanish2 February 2019
Terrible wooden acting, how the hell did Denise Richards ever get cast in anything ? She's just awful in this. Mischa Barton tries her best with a terrible script and film but nothing can save this dire excuse for a horror.

Wow wow wow
vmm-4462819 September 2018
Just WOW! Such bad acting. Denise Richards looks like she's been the the plastic surgeon a few times too many and a really bad actress. The story is ridiculous...just another all round flop. I want to know who comes up with these crappy movies. And how desperate do you have to be to take a roll in a garbage movie like this!

Cheesy nachos
influxtwo19 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
If you're reading the synopsis and thinking "Well, there must be something more to this to make it seem good." You'd be mistaken. I wouldn't say it's an awful waste of time, but it's not a very good waste of time either. It belongs on the Syfy channel as a tv movie. It just has that hokey unrealistic vibe to it. Not scary. Not realistic at all. Denise Richards isn't awful in it but she's not very good either, mediocre is the word I would use. Mischa Barton, oh Mischa, Mischa. I find it interesting where her career has gone.

Anyway back to this movie. The RV is killing people. If you stab the rv's walls, the rv bleeds. That is all I have to say for you to understand where this film goes.

You're welcome.

Find something else to do for 95mins
drflipenstein1 February 2019
I can't be bothered to waste any more time on this movie so I'll keep this brief, I've watched it and that was enough. Don't let the thought of Mischa Barton and Denise Richards tempt you into wasting 95mins of your life watching this ludicrous movie. A ridiculous plot and awful acting makes it a decidedly forgettable experience. Put the kettle on and find something else to watch!

Bad plot executed by even worst acting ...
Aktham_Tashtush21 September 2018
So the story goes so dull and so unattached up until the last 30 minutes where everyone starts "really" getting killed .. but even then ,, the cold reaction from the actors just made the movie plummet into the deficient, dreadful God-awful level of horror/thrill genre.

As i said the cast was not engaging ,, and nowhere in touch .. it actually seemed like they had a big fight in real life and they made a pact to make this movie as crappy as possible ..

Not recommended.

Annoying
dallison-205026 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is awful and very annoying to watch. Each character dies predictably. "Oh, this haunted camper is about to run me over, let stay right here in front of it and wait for it to run me over". Don't wast your time watching.

Original and scary
profitbuz19 September 2018
I don't understand all the 1/10 reviews, I found this to be a rather entertaining horror movie. There aren't too many movies based on a haunted campervan (well I haven't seen any!), so that ensured a fresh and original plot. The camera work was effective and the acting was fine for a b-grade horror (nobody is striving for an academy award). There was plenty of gore and a consistent air of dread was effectively maintained. Perhaps some viewers prefer a diverse and logical unfolding plot, but this movie simply stuck to it's singular horror premise and there is nothing wrong with that! While there were a few inevitable quiet patches, it was entertaining and foreboding throughout.

Okay B-grade Movie. One-time watchable.!!
sanimsadiq719 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
I do love watching horror/slasher movies. This one is something different.

Whats good:- Original story idea about haunted RV. Some jump scares, little gore and blood. (Not that scary, but good) Some surprise plot twists like shocking character death.

Whats bad:- Acting is below average. I mean a close family member dies and they are all shocked. After 2 minutes, it's like back to normal. Poor character development/dialogues. Fpr some dialogues, I felt like - 'seriously?'/ 'are they dumb?' Story could have been executed better with such a refreshing idea unlike other horror movies.

Final word - Watch it once for a time pass, without any expection.

Predictable & pathetic
minty10021 September 2018
Warning: Spoilers
This truly is one of the very worst films I've ever seen. It's so predictable. No worthwhile storyline. Terrible acting. You can see each death coming a mile off, you can do a countdown from seeing it & when it happens. I actually found myself laughing at what should have been the most upsetting death. No character has any sense or personable qualities which means you have no fear of them dying or any feelings about a death. The end was a blissful relief. I had to watch it all the way through just to see if anyone would survive, sadly they wanted us to believe a killer camper-van was the winner. Watch The Lion King instead, it's a far better way to pass some time, with far more realistic deaths too!

I wanted to like it but...
WhenAmyMetSalad22 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
...but this movie was complete garbage. These characters kept making the worst decisions ever and to top it off even when experiencing or witnessing something refuse to speak up.

See's someone else inside the RV who isn't part of the group whats a good idea? "I'll just keep quiet and cry the rest of the movie." Tells a child to stay in the line of sight, what does the child do? go behind the camper outside the line of site. RV turns on and chases you, how bout run in a single direction instead of changing directions because why the heck not?

I mean honestly most of these people deserved to die. Oh and for that first one. Who goes and investigates a noise inside a camper that doesn't belong to him? "Oh look an RV that doesn't belong to me making sounds. Let me go inside to see what that strange noise is." I don't like watching horror movies where people act like idiots and this movie is full of them.

I simply don't understand any of these high ratings honestly. Like are these people entertained at watching sleeping snakes in the zoo? "hey look at that snake its asleep. 10/10 would watch again" There's no hope for the human race.

disappointing and misdirected
realart_ds18 September 2018
Not only has a bad direction, the performance of the cast is bad, the plot could have been more entertaining if it had been directed correctly,it is the typical movie where the "house" has life and kill everyone, the movements of camera are flat, there are no perspectives, lacking lighting, has nothing, is not a movie I would recommend, there is not much to say about a film that is lacking in everything, I still do not understand how certain films get budget, and how directors so young can perform such a bad job.

They dont come any worse than this
blues-9679131 January 2019
Wow i have seen some bad films in my time but this is awful. Whoever produced this rubbish my advice would be too seriously consider doing something completely different. Please dont produce any more films. The acting is terrible and Denise Richards the least said about her the better.

Awful
markyboysmail3 February 2019
One of the worse ways to spend a couple of hours of your precious life. Terrible plot, even worse acting. I would have turned it off but my wife wanted to watch it to the end!

Whaaaaaaaaat...
mariaflorencia-4986430 September 2018
... a complete waste of time. Boring plot we've all seen before, awful acting, absolutely ridiculous. 10/10 reviews are ironic. Save yourself and go watch something else.

Truly awful
Saiph9010 February 2019
Warning: Spoilers
This should have been the worse film I have ever endured, the fact that there are worse films says more about the dirge I have watched than any qualities this mess of a movie. Story, a man buys a dilapidated RV tries to united his children on a road trip to the desert, the RV was owned by a serial killer and starts killing them. The acting is the worst I have seen, your family member dies and five minutes later your over it, there is a random sub plot about the father's wife cheating which is there and goes no further, awful non existent script, why 2 stars, the killer had us in fits of laughter, weird little dance and some very strange sounds, Denise Richardson and Mischa Barton must be absolutely desperate for work, I thought this was a film from the 80's not 2018, I will give credit if this was intentional. Really, really avoid.

Captivating and original
caravellakim26 September 2018
The Toybox keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole way through. It also adds a fresh twist to a genre that needs something different and unique. It's exciting and well-executed.

Killer RV
jfgibson7316 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is about a camper that lures people in to their doom. It seems to be haunted by a serial killer's ghost, but there is also a female ghost hanging around. I think she was a former victim, so I didn't understand why the ghost would be after other innocent victims. They actually kill a little girl in this movie. It's not good, doesn't really have any redeeming qualities. Denise Richards is not believable as a mom, and Mischa Barton doesn't really get to do much. Avoid.
