This film begins with a young man and woman driving on a highway somewhere through the Great Plains and eventually stopping at a gas station near the town of Divinity Falls. While the young man is busy laying down a road marker for some friends in another car to follow the young woman decides to venture out into a nearby cornfield. When she doesn't return the man subsequently decides to go and look for her. Not long afterward, both of them are killed. Meanwhile, the other car has an accident and gets stuck in a ditch not far from Divinity Falls. Unable to convince some local kids to help them out they walk to Divinity Falls where the local sheriff advises them to get on the next bus out of town. Unfortunately for them, they don't take his advice. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an adequate horror film for the most part due which benefited from the inclusion of some decent actors like David Carradine (as "Luke") and Eva Mendez ("Kir"). It also featured a couple of twists here and there with Kir's decision to readily join the cult somewhat of a surprise. Admittedly, it could have used a bit more suspense, but all things considered I found it worth the time spent and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
