A fable about an overcast truck driver who stopped at a halt in a sloppy campground away from the highway. Suddenly, a lunatic maid begins to break into her cabin, hysterically asking for help, saying that she escaped from the maniac’s captivity and he is chasing her. Calling to quickly push the truck pedal on the gas, and leave these “wonderful” places, the girl still causes the trucker doubts about its adequacy. The curly girl will have to figure out whether a lustful kidnapper really wanders around, or her new “girlfriend” started a cunning game with her. . .
A low-budget indie thriller on the theme of survival, but able to stand out with good acting and some plot twerks. And the film has something to surprise the viewer, especially the final denouement, connecting all the threads together.
Almost all the action of the tape takes place in the truck or near it, and all the time watching does not leave the feeling of an impending threat. Female characters play most scenes well, except when they give a tough dummy (the scriptwriters pumped up here). History gradually feeds new facts, with each step more and more supplementing the telling with new pieces of the puzzle, slowly leading to a shocking finale filled with both bitterness of loss and fierce hatred.
The picture has weaknesses: unnecessary dialogue and ranting, a scene with a couple of frostbitten scourges looks somehow inappropriate and attractive, and in general, sometimes the behavior of the characters looks illogical.
Moral: traveling by car, it is better to stop for an overnight stay in a roadside prostitute than at the edge of a forest in the rural wilderness.
As a result, a good directorial debut for the B-movie format, which has unexpected twists, a dramatic plot and bright characters.
