Highly Overrated But Still Good

good back-story, and good acting

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This film, as it's voters' rating would indicate is not a very good film. Story aside, the editing, lighting, sound, direction, etc... all could have used a lot more work. Though, for a low budget most of it is understandable, and expected. However, I really believe this film would have been much more suited to a short film. It could have been trimmed down relatively easily to 10min, especially since they re-used like 5 shots in the film it seems they were reaching for their time anyway. The film meanders and drags and forces the viewer to 'driven' (haha) to boredom. It would have been a much more effective film as a film festival short. Anyway, on the good hand, this film can show future aspiring filmmakers what not to do, and that's always something Cheers

I don't understand all the hatred toward this film. Yes, it stars people you've never heard of and will probably never see again, but it's better than a lot of other movies ... and I rent a lot of them! At the very least, you can appreciate that: the Lead Actor was GORGEOUS; the Japanese lady Yumi? was gorgeous; scenery was pretty; car was cool -- makes me want to upgrade from my Camry to a Lexus. I was actually surprised when Yumi appeared crawling up the driver's window while he was driving -- I thought that was cool. Oh and her apartment, with the green and purple walls, and the zen like -feng shu furnishings ... I just thought this was a very nice movie to look at, at least. I liked it better than that piece of crap THE SIXTH SENSE, don't get me started on that!

This movie, thankfully, was rented on DVD and I only had to pay a rental fee. Really bad acting, very stupid storyline and overall just poor. If you must see this film, luckily you'll get to rent it. I just wish Hollywood would come up with a great horror/ghost movie that will be worthwhile and not so poorly made. Movies like the Others and the Sixth Sense were pretty good. This movie had nothing to do with a real "highway" just a country road leading to a lake. The guy-"Greg" kept looking over his shoulder while driving (stupid) I don't know about you, but driving country roads is bad enough when you pay attention, somehow he kept the car going straight the whole time and didn't miss a beat. The only good actors in this film were the two African American cops-they actually tried to do a good job. Overall, skip this one and enjoy something else!!

I had never heard of this movie, but I saw it in the rental store and it had a cool cover and interesting description. Besides, I'll watch anything because you never know when you'll find a treasure out there.Not this time! I agree with the other comments that this is one of the worst ever, and there's no way to blame it on the budget. Actually I think it has much more to do with a language barrier. This is a Japanese film - Japanese director, writer, cinematographer, crew - everyone but the main cast, one of which is a beautiful Japanese "actress". I get the impression that the writer simply had someone translate the script to English who either A) was not fluent in English or B) totally ignored the idiom of the target language. Why else would the main character keep apologizing to everyone he kills for killing them? Anyway, the film really isn't worth reviewing because it's so totally flawed and stilted. The few frights are equivalent to someone jumping out of a closet and yelling "BOO" - and then doing it over and over again in case you missed it the first time. I only wish video stores offered some sort of rental guarantee - didn't they used to? This is one of the few films I've ever rented for which I would ask for my money back.
