I thought this film was actually quite surprising for a b list film, I went into this film thinking that it would the same as the rest a big disappointment and leaving me wondering how I'm going to get that 1.5hrs back in my life. But this film truly surprised me, it all starts with a road trip with a young girl and her petrol head boyfriend who gets a thrill out of making his own convoys with other drivers on a long journey. After stopping at a petrol station you are introduced to a couple of the members of the convoy, one is a trucker and the other a dad of three (or so you think) as with most horror movies you come to think straight away that you know who the killer is as at the beginning all the signs point to the trucker in the convoy, but you are very much surprised. The story then switches to concentrate on the main character and heroine Katheryn Winnick ... Tabitha and her babysitting roll. And her childhood friend and her boyfriend on they way back from a club her room mate goes missing so they try to find the guy who she went home with, so end up going to this creepy looking hostel. I am not going to say any more about the story line as I really want your guys to watch this and see what you think so don't want to give anything away. All I have to say is this is a good horror flick and much better than most of the big budget a list films around at the moment. It has some very interesting twists and turns, I have to admit that in some places this film can become a bit predictable but I always except that with any horror film really but the plot really makes up for this as at some point you start to think ' hold on a minute what's going on??'
