Frances (Madeline Zima, currently spellbinding on "Californication") is on the way to a camping trip with a few friends when a sudden bout of uncontrollable vomiting (which might or might not be due to Ectasy) forces them to stop at a secluded run-down gas station, which in turn sets forth a string of unfortunate events. Soon Frances is distracted by a little girl whom she follows to a house that holds some sinister secrets. Now an unseen monster is after her friends as she tries to help the strange little girl.
I was willing to go along with the film up to a point, but the ending pretty much ruined the whole experience for me and was handled better in film's such as "Session 9", "the Devil's Chair" and others. Still Madeline Zime is always a joy to watch on screen so it wasn't a total loss. It just wasn't a great choice to waste an hour and a half on either.
My Grade: D+
