Beware

SOME PEOPLE DESERVE TO BE KILLED
The film is the typical mistreated boy grows up feral in the woods and becomes a local legendary killer...with a slight twist. It is a slasher film, with blood, guts, and a head roll. Hispanic cast made for a nice change. The music sound track was by Cinder Road which sounds similar to NIN. The film attempted to add some humor, but it didn't come off too well. The lines were not that well written. Pretty much everything you expect in a slasher film plus Guitar Hero.

I loved the back story within the story and I loved the storyline itself. The...

The first 30 minutes are *really* long. A group of teens are travelling on the road and hoping for one final gathering before they all go their separate ways. Yup, that crucial changing point in every young persons life- the understanding that all the partying and hanging out is soon going to be over for good. As the one girl so eagerly explains "This is probably going to be our last trip together so let's make it count". The group of young adults eventually encounter engine troubles that force them to make a stop at a nearby gas station and this is when the pacing feels...
