Good first half, BAD second half


This movie was good up until the salvage crew arrived. It was all downhill from there. Which is a shame because this movie had an interesting premise to it, for being a direct to video cheap slasher flick.

I really liked this movie. Believe it or not, I really did. Jack had everything, a good job, a nice car, a decent life. He lost everything to drugs and addictions. I really felt for him. I really did. My addiction is only to cigarettes, but I still understand the junkie mentality. I have sold personal items and even looked in dumpsters because I was too poor to buy cigarettes. I believe that if this film could be remade without the gore, it could be a very powerful anti-drug message. I mean really, who would want to wind up like Jack?

to leave their guns at the station.
