sometimes movie with potential try hard and fall just short of be good . in some way the traveler fall into that category . in other way it fall so short of what should be consider film that it downright sad . let me start by say that if this be a student film and it should probably get a decent grade . it story have potential and the effect be fairly good give the budget and and it genuinely make me ( a real horror fan ) cringe from time to time . the problem . first of all and the production value be be poor . extremely poor . in fact i think i have make home movie that take long to produce . half of the fun of watch horror flick can be the bad production and but this be just too much . then you have to deal with the actor . i use quotation because i be fairly sure the maker of this film just ask friend and possibly stranger on the street to be in this movie . it so bad that it make a somewhat promising story and make it almost unbearable to watch . why the 2 extra star . a i say and the story isn not bad ( think tv show survivor meet your gruesome untimely death by way of creepy british guy ) . it just execute very poorly . add another star for some practical special effect that be more than i expect ( probably where the entire budget go for this film if it have one to begin with ) . all of this give you a finished product that and if more time and a little more money have go into it and could easily have be a real contender for a good horror flick . i really want to like this piece of indie horror . i just couldn not .
