A simple, effective premise for horror. Four kids in a car alone down a dark highway, driving on a completely straight road with no end in sight. There are no other cars around and everything looks exactly the same. I dare not spoil what happens next, suffice to say that this is a true indie film where you must provide your own answers, which will prove divisive to many. The concept alone terrifies me, but this is a great example of getting a lot of good mileage out of a clever, relatable situation. It reminded me of films like Dead End and Lost Highway, but this is basically Sartre's No Exit set on an endless highway.
