Warning: Spoilers
A tow truck driver happens upon a dead, bloody body in the middle of the road. Nearby, there are four abandoned vehicles; an ambulance, two sheriff's department patrol cars, and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. There is a shotgun laying on the road, a short distance away from the bloody body.

What does the tow truck driver do? He has come upon what is ostensibly a bloody crime scene. No one else is around, and the tow truck driver himself may very well be in danger. Does he pick the shotgun up? Nope. He wanders around the various abandoned vehicles, shouting, "Hello? Hello?"

Let's go back to that dead body, shall we? The dead body belongs to an EMS worker, who had been sitting in one of the abandoned patrol car, with the aforementioned shotgun. When one of the creatures in the movie approaches the squad car, what does the EMS worker do?

He throws open the door to the squad car, drops the shotgun to the ground, and tries to run. Of course, he is killed by one of the creatures.

Now, as to these creatures. They look like refugees from a "Scooby Doo on Ice" revue. For a movie with a $1,000,000.00 budget, these are THE worst creature effects that I've ever seen. The "monsters" look like overly large, plush stuffed animals.

Another vehicle comes along and finds the four previously abandoned vehicles, and the now abandoned tow truck. That shotgun is still laying on the side of the road. Does anyone pick it up? Nope. The driver wanders about calling out, "Glenn! Glenn! Glenn!"

Glenn is the tow truck driver, who shows up and scares the crap out of the guy who had been calling for him. Glenn tells the driver that he saw something that looked like a bear... but it never occurred to him to pick up the shotgun laying in the road.

There are definitely aspects of this movie that are tongue-in-cheek, but there's a fine line between tongue-in-cheek and flat-out stupid. This movie tramples all over that fine line.

Do yourself a favor. Unless you enjoy a pack of idiots running around like a clueless pack of idiots, pass on this one. It's beyond stupid, so bad that you'll struggle to figure out what that million dollar budget was spent on.
