You're still having doubts after having seen the rating and having read the two (at the time of writing) available reviews?
You're hopeless...
This truly was THE most horrible film I've ever seen. If it had been possible to give it a 0 (zero) rating, I most certainly would have done that. There is nothing (and I do mean NOTHING) scary/creepy about this movie. Strange that something like this even made it to the stores.

my friend rented it (blockbuster actually had it) a while back. This has to be the crappiest movie I've ever seen. Seriously, it sucks and blows at the same time.
shareWhat is wrong with you people??? This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Even Ed Wood himself would feel envious if he was still alive. Dude, you gotta have talent to make a flick like Junior. Trash is the word!!!!
sharei give this movie a meh, i only bought it because it looked scary at the time, the beginning was effin creepy, but it was all downhill from there.
shareI just recently rented this movie and unfortunately for me, I had no prior warning that this movie was pure stupidity. The scene where she is inside the car and she is pounding on the roof because she hears a sound coming from the roof, and the car is shaking up and down and then they make one final cell phone call to each other... AWFUL. This scene seemed to last 1/2 hour. If someone is into very low budget horror with an even worse plot, go ahead, knock youreself out with this piece of cinema crap.

what the hell ed wood's movies at 1000000000 time better than this jung at least his are goofy and entertaining but this one almost put me to sleep there was nothin creepy about it
shareLate 2002, I got the 'luck' of stumbling into a sneak preview of this movie at our local cinema, followed by a Q&A with director Ickx, producer Van de Woestijne (aka Desert) and actor Bob Dougherty.
Nobody really knew what was heading our way, since we normally only get to preview mainstream films on those kind of nights. I tell you, this crowd of college students never got annoyed: the sheer stupidity of the plot, numerous inconsistencies and incessant whining of those girls had us laughing non-stop. With a film this campy on the big screen, who wouldn't get excited? The Ed Wood reference above isn't all that far fetched.
The Q&A afterwards was even more hilarious: apparently the makers never intended to create the campy experience we all had witnessed and they were a bit surprised by the commotion during the screening. The session really turned into quite an embarrassment for them when we informed about all the gaping plot holes and missed queues we had noticed.
All in all, with a budget this small (about $100,000 dollars), I think these guys fared pretty well. Hell, this small Belgian flick even got a US DVD release!
P.S. Little fait d' hiver: the Jaguar XJ that gets blown up after the seemingly endless screaming scene with one of the girls inside was actually a car the producer had driven himself for several years. Quite a nice way to get rid of your old junk ;-)
LOL!!! My neices and I LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch HORROR movies, its a tradition for us to rent them when they are over...well this movie was NOT scary. We frequently talk about watching this movie and how we LITERALLY laughed thru the WHOLE thing! The killer pounding on the car for what seemed like an hour and then doing psycho killer gymnastics was WAY too much! We almost all peed our pants right there.
Anywho I see nothing campy or scary about this movie AT ALL, a complete waste of time. Save yourself and walk away. Youll kick yourself in the ass for spending a DIME on this crap! If youre looking to be scared watch HIGE TENSION!

yes, this movie is terrible. but i think Terror Toons was worse. this takes a very close 2nd place though.
shareI confess, the cover art on the DVD got me hooked. At $3, I thought I got the bargain. Anxiously, I dashed home. My wife made the pop corn while I closed the lights and set the mood. Needless to say, by the end of the movie, we were disappointed. Bad acting, bad script, cheap props all made this movie fall flat. The cart wheeling ‘creature’ seemed like a pathetic version of Darkman wielding a Klingon weapon.
Not to excuse the movie, I can point out a couple of redeeming moments I saw. For example, the opening scene with the ‘mother’ brushing her hair, putting on lipstick and that ugly white dress, etc was creepy enough. The story concerning the abandoned military base was intriguing since it explains why this place was a ghost town. It also explained the maze of corridors where all the running around took place. Sandra’s hysterical voice screaming through Rebecca’s cell phone was alarming and panicky.
But after that, like the pig said, that’s all, folks. Bad acting, bad script, bad directing, bad props, nice cover art.
Smoke me a kipper. I'll be back for breakfast.
I agree. This film blew massive spam chunks.
