    • Quotes

      [first lines]

      Mallory Rutledge: [answering her phone] Ella. Hey!

      Ella Rutledge: Hi, sister. Where are you?

      Mallory Rutledge: Taking the scenic route.

      Ella Rutledge: The long way, you mean.

      Mallory Rutledge: I'm following my GPS. It's fine. It's beautiful, actually.

      Ella Rutledge: This isn't what I think it is, is it?

      Mallory Rutledge: No.

      Ella Rutledge: As long as you're all right.

      Mallory Rutledge: Why wouldn't I be?

      Ella Rutledge: What do you think?

      Mallory Rutledge: [looking at pictures on her phone] Please tell me that's not for the wedding. Brad's mom will have an aneurysm.

      Ella Rutledge: It's for tonight. Do you think it's too slutty for a second date?

      Mallory Rutledge: Depends on whether or not you've already slept with him.

      Ella Rutledge: [hesitate, then giggles]

      Mallory Rutledge: Promise me that whatever you do buy for the wedding, there'll be a little bit more of it.

    • Alternate versions
      In footage reedited into a short "alternate storyline" on the home video releases, Mallory does not give Christian a ride after he restarts her car, and after leaving him behind, calls her sister to talk about the encounter. The car soon shuts down again, and this time upon inspection, she learns a crucial cable has been cut. Unable to get cel service, she happens upon the cabin that appears at the end of the movie in the final cut, and sneaks inside when nobody answers the door. She discovers the phone has been cut, and hides when Christian, who has repaired her truck to use it for himself, arrives at the cabin and enters. The family that is later shown to be victims in the climax of the final cut emerge shortly after his arrival, and it is revealed Christian has been doing contracting work for them. He then commits the murders that are shown after the fact in the climax, and amidst the chaos, Mallory escapes, and in the chase Christian engages in with her, the crash occurs that sets into motion the remainder of the existing film. This is likely an original conception of the story that was changed during shooting to make the murdered family a bigger surprise later on.

    Pretty decent survival movie.
    If I had to compare this to another movie it would be "Open Water" except in a car with a killer instead of a shark and a more satisfying ending. In essence this is more of a slow survival movie with a faster paced "survivor girl vs killer" finish.

    All of the production, acting, directing, etc are well done. However, as others have mentioned it doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but then again, does any movie these days?

    In the end I liked it. If you are looking for a full blown horror movie, this is not what you are looking for. If you like movies like "Open Water" and "127 Hours" then this is probably worthy of a watch.
