Storyline

A young girl gets a graveyard shift at a gas station situated in the middle of nowhere.

She didn't tell the boss or her parole officer about her delusions. Things get complicated on the very first nite as the line between reality n illusions gets blurry.

User Reviews

Not too shabby.

I think this deserves better than a 5. Okay, so it's not the most original movie I've ever seen, but it was still done pretty well. The acting was great (Brendan Fletcher is terribly underrated IMHO) and it kept me entertained. Also some really good gore, if that's your thing.
