Storyline

Amber dreams of escaping her small town existence and persuades her friends to accompany her to find an apartment in the big city. When their transportation breaks down, she and her friends gratefully accept a ride in the back of a semi. But when the driver refuses to stop and they discover the cargo is hundreds of cartons of blood, they panic. Their panic turns to terror when the truck disgorges them into a dark, abandoned warehouse where blood-thirsty creatures learn to hunt human prey, which, the friends realize, is what they now are...

User Reviews

nice twist at the end

I haven't seen Rovdyr, the director Patrik Syversen first horror attempt. But this one is available in the After Dark series so I had to see it. It's a simple story, being at the wrong place at the wrong moment. But at the final luckily there's a twist.

Patrik really took his time for the viewers to get involved in the story and the characters and it did work for me. Once they decide to make a road trip their van broke down and they accept a ride from a trucker. They know the dangers and are taking precautions as things should turn wrong. Naturally, they go wrong.

Courtney Hope who plays Amber has the main lead and she really was believable. The others were good too but they vanished quickly to see what they could show us. Ruta Gedmintas wasn't that bad either. Here again we have the After Dark problem. When they say, let's go skinny dipping no one goes skinny. I really think that's due the After Dark rules.

But we are here to see towards the horror and it did work out fine for me. There's a lot of gore attached in the story but naturally the mutants or creatures is done so many ways. But the flick is rescued by the surprising ending. It's ready for part 2 if they want too.
