Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Ridgeback08 A middle aged Dad and frustrated Mom head off to France for a camping driving trip in a vintage car. Now one has to ask the question as to why one would go on a long distance trip in a 33 year old car (as of the movie release in 2006). This choice of vehicle is especially true if one is not prepared to repair said vehicle. The Dad must like tinkering with cars. Guess what, the guy collects and restores them. But then they run into an overly friendly couple who first befriends them and then stalks them. Slowly, oh so slowly, the couple realise that the couple are after their kids. Fortunately, the stalkers are not that bright. But then, neither are the camping couple. Watching this min-series movie will lower your IQ.

littlejem25 I just saw this film and, like my summary line says, think this portrays some of the most inconceivable human behavior that can be put on film. It's technical aspects aren't bad so I won't give it a 1, but it's too bad the camera and sound crew didn't have the support of a credible script. The writers should be taken out and slapped silly.The basic premise consists of1) Stupid Dad takes Stupid Family on a camping trip2) Stupid Dad meets Creepy Guy and his wife3) Stupid Family meets the Creepys over and over4) The Creepys do creepy things and the Stupids ignore it, keep it to themselves or explain it away with non-logic as they are obliged to do 5) The Creepys do their BIG CREEPY THING and, of course, puts the Stupids in mortal peril6) The Stupids somehow prevail (out of luck, fortunate timing, coincidental meet-ups, etc.) and the Creepys are vanquished... The EndIt isn't damning that the plot is predictable (which it is), but that all the explanation given as to why Daddy Stupid does this or that or what drives Mr. Creepy to be creepy is irrelevant. You can't possibly care about all that when you can't begin to believe (much less relate to) the characters. One example, You just ran over someone. What do you do? Forget the cell phone. Call for help? Nah! Why not run around the woods for a while and poke through some old home videos? Oh yeah, don't forget to tell the kids 'Stay here!' before you go running off. Perfect!Skip this one unless you've missed all the horror movies out since you were a kid, or just like bad formula movies.

EsmeraldaHugo An engaging example of the genre of TV drama/thriller. The Alders with their 2 children are on a camping holiday in France and befriend a slightly odd couple at a camp site who then keep appearing everywhere they go. The odd couple's son apparently goes missing and the Alders start trying to avoid the odd couple. Events take a creepy turn . . .Without giving the plot away, all I would say is that this was a well acted and quite gripping drama and much more original than a lot of the 2 parters that are seen on ITV these days.There are a couple of minor 'she/he would never have done that' moments but if you are prepared to engage with the suspension of disbelief then they aren't so major as to spoil the viewer's enjoyment.

robertconnor Whilst on holiday in France, Mr. and Mrs. Stupid meet Mr. and Mrs. Creepy on a campsite. However, what begins as a seemingly ordinary encounter soon spirals into a nightmare, culminating in abduction and carnage.Whoever cast this turkey apparently doesn't have a family themselves... the Stupids make for a ridiculously unbelievable family unit. 16 year old Rachel Stupid appears to be played by an actress in her twenties, which makes all her scenes and interactions with other characters unintentionally hilarious. Meanwhile, the writer has created one daft situation after another... Mr. Stupid is a professional classic car specialist, but can't even recognise a flat tyre whilst driving his 73 Mercedes, let alone understand why the car is struggling to start as they disembark from the ferry (i.e. 'doh! I thought I'd fixed that starter motor/distributor/fuel pump'). Mrs. Stupid can't decide whether she can speak french or not - fortunately for the Stupids, all the police they meet are only pretending they can't speak English! We quickly establish that the Stupids have two mobile phones in their possession, yet when they run someone over,and subsequently crash off the road during a stressed night drive, given they have already met with the police, do they call for assistance? With a body lying across the road, does anyone wait by it in case another motorist drives along? Of course not! Mr. and Mrs. Stupid go wandering off into the forest, leaving the kids in the car. Alone. In the dark... Mind you, by this stage Rachael Blake and Ben Miles have probably sussed that Emily Beecham is actually about 25, and is therefore old enough to look after herself and her 'brother'. Oops! As the Creepies, Ripley and Ryan are full on spooky and skewed from the outset, practically screaming 'WE'RE UNBALANCED PSYCHO'S WHO WANT YOUR KIDS' from the moment the Stupids meet them. Accordingly, there's nowhere for them to go but completely OTT, and that's exactly where they end up...It would have been different if the Stupids had been written and played as a likable family, with whom we could sympathise. As it is, this viewer was left rooting for the Creepies! So, utter nonsense then... but great fun!
