Unfortunately, some of the best parts of this film are the scenery in rural Louisiana, which is grim, run-down, and quite spooky.John Savage plays one Melvin Deveraux, who is trying to get home to his family, although roads have been closed due to flooding. Along the way, Melvin encounters a strange hearse that is driven by an apparent maniac, because it won't let him pass and tries to run him off the road several times. But at a local joint along the way, Melvin gets a good look at what's in that hearse & it seems that it may be him? At least his name's on the wreath but what's in the box is not exactly recognizable.Melvin also hooks up with a mysterious woman who feels compelled to help him, especially when his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. She takes him to a mechanic that gets the car fixed & he's back on the road but he keeps seeing both the woman and the hearse, and he's becoming increasingly agitated by that & his seeming inability to get home easily.There's something about the time 7:30 too, because every time Melvin looks at his car clock or his watch it's 7:30...This is an OK film, not terrible, but frankly, Savage's character Melvin is too irritating to care much about, and so are some of the other characters encountered along the way, especially the hearse driver. The "mystery" of what's going on is sort of foreshadowed, and the ending is all but telegraphed throughout the film.But the creepy Louisiana landscapes almost save it from a total loss.6 out of 10.
