a young woman and nicole carrow ( jaimie alexander ) and and her boyfriend and jess ( joey mendicino ) become target for a deranged serial killer after stop for a comfort break at a remote road side rest stop . what might have be an effectively scary chiller in more competent hand and turn out to be a confusing and ill consider mess under the sloppy direction of john shiban ( who also write the screenplay ) . there be a good deal of juicy violence and a brief smattering of nudity and and confident performance from the cast and but the silly script leave the viewer with so many unanswered question one can not help but feel disappointed . on the surface and the film play out like a standard cliché ridden killer on the loose movie and but shiban ( an ex writer for the x file ) throw in some subtle supernatural element which suggest that his aim be something else entirely represent a ghost story and with the rest stop act a home to a vengeful spectre out to punish sinner . by read up on the film and check out viewer theory here on imdb and and watch the extra on the dvd and certain plot element begin to make a little more sense ( although and even with the advantage of extra information and there be still many question leave unanswered ) . in my opinion and any film that require this much investigation to make itself ( only partially ) understood be not particularly a good one .
