After their friend goes missing, five road-tripping friends must confront a violent biker gang, but after they narrowly escape, their nightmare goes from bad to spine-chilling.

Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
tmdarby I really wanted to like this film. The plot seemed decent and i found the villains pretty creepy. The acting in this film though is shockingly bad. I mean really, really bad. There isn't a good way to describe it other than it's like watching a high school play, but in all honesty most high school plays have better acting. Marcelle Bowman was the only decent actor in the cast. The dialogue and delivery was just horrible from everyone else in the movie. There are quite a few plot holes as well.All in all, this could be a good candidate for a remake with some good actors and a new screen writer.
baroby I'm going to keep this simple: This is NOT a good movie.I'm not going to put any spoilers in here, because everyone else kinda did that. I'm not going to explain the characters or the story line, because others have done it, and there isn't really much to explain. But here's my take on it:The story is bad, the camera work looks like someone shot it with an iPhone, the script seems like it's mostly ad lib, there is next to no gore at all (at least for a movie this bad, you would think that it would be heavy on the gore), the acting is HORRID, the characters are vastly underdeveloped, the interactions make no sense, the movie itself drags for the first half hour, and then when it picks up it is almost comical, there is NOTHING believable about this film--it's just a flat out mess.I didn't give this a 1 because I've seen a LOT of bad movies in my day, especially of the horror genre. However, this movie didn't get a 1 out out of 10 simply because I've seen worse movies to compare it to, not because it wasn't really bad.Read the other reviews, and compile them all into one. Everyone is telling the truth all at the same time, trust me. If you like rustic independent films shot by film students, then this is right up your alley. If for some reason you want to see a really good horror film, either just because you like horror films or because you want to kick Halloween off with a bang, don't waste your time.
Lelio Mulas Well, that was interesting. The very first moments looked decent, with a somewhat retro look. But as soon as the characters open their mouth you realize you're in for a treat. Sound editing is terrible, you can't hear half of the lines, and the other half is people telling each other to shut up or chill out (duude). Dialogues are below 5 years old writing. Camera work is atrocious, some of the very few thrills in this bore-fest are courtesy of the cameraman struggling with focus. And losing miserably. The editing is lame. I just began to mentally trim the footage to accelerate the pacing, leaving behind minutes and minutes of awkward silent people blank staring, panting and gasping, looking around, while I was waiting for a line or a reaction to happen. My god... Then acting. Tell me about it. 'Great acting' someone said, holy cow... They are abysmal, all of 'em, with a special award for the guy in a yellow t-shirt (sluggishly dragging around like he hadn't any idea what he was doing) and the biker chief (desperately trying to be cool in a Samurai Cop wig). Storywise, it's a mess. Girl gets missing (we couldn't care less about her, 3 minutes screen time), friends freak out (kinda) and try to find her, they stumble upon drug courier bikers, they argue, they escape, they find refuge in a ghost town, the bikers follow them, cannibal creepy inbred people, almost everybody dies by stupidity. There is no tension whatsoever! The pacing is all off, slow and helpless, the bikers are not menacing, the 'eaters' could have been a redeeming point for the movie if there was any attention to details, maybe even some self aware irony (we're playing with 50 years old tropes, guys). The plot doesn't progress, it percolates like garbage juice. Even the gore is missing!Maybe they tried, maybe it was a joke. What remains is a mess of a movie, some occasional funny-bad moment (the screaming scene, as previously noted by other reviewers: hilarious) and lots of boredom and frustration. I somehow sat through all of it, but I don't recommend this experience to anyone.
emberstonepierce It's been a very long time since I've seen such horrific acting, casting and directing. To find all three in the same film doesn't surprise me when a 'Biker Gang' consists of four normal looking men trying to look imposing and missing by a mile. As a biker myself, I'm used to seeing stereotypical representations of motorcycle riders, but this just made them look like fools. The plot is (you'll be unsurprised to hear) a common one that frankly has been done a lot better in other movies. The characters are as weak and two dimensional as the acting and the narrative and script appear to have been written by teenagers without a firm grasp of what making a film should entail. Unless you enjoy watching paint dry or grass grow, I'd give this shocking excuse for a film a wide berth. Low budget doesn't have to mean low quality, it's just a shame no one reminded the director and production team associated with this disaster.
