Slow, predictable, and uninteresting
The plot summary that I read made this movie sound interesting.. Hell the desert has been a good setting for horror movies before..... Then I saw this movie.
1) The main characters seemed to both be bi-polar and I had no concern for their plight ( I was hoping the horror was going to happen during the first nude scene in the desert).
2) The fight that the two had seemed like I missed some part of the Movie, maybe it got edited... oh well. I was hoping they would get hit by a truck.
3) The whole scene leading up to the 3 leeged dog getting hit looked like it might have been something, maybe Cujo-esque.
4) The climatic rape scene seemed way out of place and really tame. Guy gets hit with a bat, girl gets punched, then guy gets raped and left to wallow in his own shame. Then dude goes crazy in hotel room.
With no concern for the characters, there was no build-up or suspense to hold me. The whole movie seemed thrown together and uninspired. I only watched the whole thing to see if the end could possibly redeem it, it didn't.
It seems that for some people, this movie was a success, but for me, I would rather watch the SAW series for entertainment value, and those are plain junk.
