At first, during the credits, I thought that the movie was called "In Itation"--I almost stormed back to Hollywood Video to demand my 1.99 back. But then the V appeared with Jeff Burton's name, and then I knew I was in for quality. The movie begins with friends being delivered mysterious letters mysteriously. There is a haunting theme that ties these scenes together--genius. This could have been a film in and of itself. There is a lot of good scenes with the smart Aleck character--for example, him trying to eat a sandwich. The friends are lost out in the woods and it is a scary movie because you don't know who is on who's side--one thing I do know though is that it felt very realistic. Something similar actually happened to me a few years ago (which is why I'm in a wheelchair now). I think it is sad that the girl got an abortion in the end. If I could have driven over a foggy and dangerous Louisiana Bridge I would have--to save the child. But unfortunately fate took even more mysterious twists than what could have ever been expected... Can anyone tell me if Chris Mulkey is in this movie? I thought that he might be related to Jeff Burton because of the quality--but I haven't been able to verify this yet. The quality of directing, especially towards the end, was really haunting; felt realistic. Cinematography. When I die, I want to hang out in the house with the children because they look like they need a friend (I can tell this because killing people who are nearby to you when you die is obviously just a cry for help).
