With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for fans of a good haunting and anyone who likes to be kept guessing. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. Liked The Lost Boys or Totally Killer? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Keeps the tension tight, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.
Six best friends decide to make an impulse trip to Las Vegas in hopes of mending Santi and Annie's dying relationship. When Clive decides to stage a breakdown so Santi can "save the day", their truck "actually" breaks down in the middle of a long-ago forgotten ghost town. The eclectic group soon learns about the old legend of "Harold Oates aka The Oatmeal Man" and find themselves in the middle of a blood thirsty killer's luring ground. Will the group make it through the night? Or will they become a breakfast topping?
