This is one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen. It is the most cliché-filled horror film I've yet to see. It's filled with stupid characters who do exactly the opposite of what a real rational person would do in these situations. Pick up a hitchhiker in a menacing overcoat with a hood in the middle of night in the middle of nowhere? A guy who looks dead from the nose down? Why not? After he offers you raw meat on a skewer, do you try to get him out of the car? No, you keep on driving and trying to have pleasant conversation with him. After you find said meat skewer in the tire, do you pull it out, releasing all the air from the tire? Of course! Does the reputable therapist leave the emotionally scarred kid terrified of cars alone inside the car while she tries to get a signal from her cell phone? Why not? She'll be okay, right? Okay, you kind of get the point of how dumb this movie is. At one point the camp caretaker can't figure out how to get Penny out of the car. Hello! Grab a rock and smash the rear window in. A five-year-old is smarter than this guy. After he tries pushing on the car to get her out while she's in reverse, the car doesn't budge, but later on in the film Penny is able to move the car by sticking her leg out the window and pushing off of a tree. Totally ridiculous. Avoid this movie at all costs.
