For the sake of those who want to see this film and be surprised, I won’t give anything else away except to warn you that the feeling of hopelessness that runs throughout is fully justified by the ending.
And thanks to its opening-weekend box-office, it may become a new series. There are several additional tributes to other films and some silly self-parody and other attempts at humor but primarily this is a very negative creeper/slasher film in the “Halloween” or “Friday the 13th” category.
But it’s nothing compared to what Darry discovers in the basement. The imagery of a church with a broken cross and overrun by blackbirds is reminiscent of Hitchcock’s “The Birds” or something from Edgar Allen Poe. Trish objects, something to the effect that this is the turning point in bad movies and they’re making the wrong choice. The truck attacks again after shaking it off a second time, Darry decides that they need to go back to the church and investigate.

This sequence reminded me of Steven Spielberg’s maiden feature, “Duel.”Īfter shaking off the truck, the pair later see that same truck parked behind a boarded-up church and the driver (face still not clearly visible) dumping a bundle that may be a human body down a large pipe that leads to the basement. While they’re in the middle of a good-natured sibling rivalry argument, a beat-up old van-truck with a cryptic license plate attacks them from behind. The film opens on a brother and sister, Darry and Trish ( Justin Long, Gina Philips), driving home from college in a nicely-restored 1960 Chevy Impala. I made a last-minute decision to see this film, with no prior knowledge of the content except that it was some kind of supernatural thriller.
