Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The book the therapist Orianna Volks wrote is titled "Full Circle: Conquering Our Fears". more
Goofs:
Factual errors: During the entire movie at specific points, the girl looks at a digital clock on the car. Yet we are also shown that there is no key in the car (which is why the car would not start), and in those cars digital clocks would not operate without a key in the transmission so the time could not have been showing at all times. more

I won't die this way!, 19 March 2008

Now, this had all the elements of good horror - suspense, screams, breasts, and slashing. Not too bad for a film that takes place in the woods at night.

Penny (Rachel Miner) is traveling with her therapist (Mimi Rogers) to overcome her fear of cars after an auto accident as a child. Now, everyone knows not to pick up hitchhikers, and you should especially know not to take them into the woods, but hey, there wouldn't be a movie if they did the smart thing.

She, with a fear of cars, ends up stuck in a car with her dead therapist, and thus begins a night of horror. Dead bodies are piling up all over as she screams to get out.

I won't spoil it except to say that I really liked the ending.

And, I sure want to see some more of Tammy Filor.
