Starts good....

I think the rating of 5.1 is a fair reflection of this film. Drinking and driving as we all know isn't good. But this is a whole different kinda bad. As previously described - a stalker shocker, which most of the way through I enjoyed but after a while things just didn't make much sense. Where did he come from?? I like these sorta films normally, and to be fair the acting wasn't bad but something just went wrong, maybe I'm being too harsh as there were some good driving sequences (with a twist) and well shot. I didn't expect the ending, but I didn't really care too much by this time, it was a bit like the writers gave up and asked some of his/her kids to help out.

If you like suspenseful horror stalker type films then you may enjoy this, as my partner doesn't and she didn't like this.

A couple of B movie gory bits as well. Not sure how to summarise, make up you own mind.
