Two girls working the night shift at a gas station endure a night of horror. To say more would spoil things so i'll leave the plot at that.
The suspense builds slowly in the gas station where small things happen to terrorize the girls, until the stupid director decided to jump ahead to the captive scenes to show us what eventually happened to the girls, and then takes us back to the gas station again. Why do this?!
Doing that only kills the suspense that's building in the gas station and I couldn't figure out why on earth they chose to film like that. Why bother going back to the slow suspense of the gas station after cutting to what happened to them?! It was just dumb.
But the movie still saves itself by staying at the captive place for the final third of the movie and then keeps a linear timeline.
There's some gore during a particularly brutal scene and the suspense continues right up to the end. The two girls acted great and played their parts believably too. There's a couple of moments where the characters do dumb things in life threatening situations where you'll slap your forehead, but that just goes with the territory in these films.
I give this an 8 and would've given it a 9 if it didn't have the non linear timeline that served no purpose but to kill the suspense. But even with that big flaw, it's still worth a watch for suspense/horror fans.
