This is more than just another horror film. There are complexities intertwined in the story that include the deep devotion of young love, the corruption of character that money can sometimes cause, and how power over life and death, in the wrong hands, can make a person crazy. The characters are both believable and colorful and ultimately ones you won't soon forget. it is refreshing to see the effort at character development was as important as the shocking action scenes and the horror of Leslie's descent into darkness. The film's creepy aspect was intensified by the unique monster, and the desert dwelling couple that will make your skin crawl. I would like to see more from this young writer / director.
