A couple (not so happily married, but she heavily pregnant) drives at night in icy weather towards family for a Christmas gathering, and are halted by a tree blocking the road. From out of the dark woods a male voice orders them to stay put where they are, the husband in front of the car in the freezing cold, at the threat of getting shot at, which he occasionally does. The guy stays totally anonymous, the couple has no idea why he does this or what he wants, and when asked, he only, in a soft and civilized tone, reacts with enigmatic remarks or counter questions, in the vein of: question: "why are you doing this to us?!" - answer: "why do YOU think I'm doing this to you?" and so on and on.
This weird stalemate takes forever, the clock jumping from one hour to the next, without hardly anything remotely interesting happening, besides the couple furtively trying to communicate to think of a way out. As a bonus we learn some bits about their marital problems. The whole thing finally ends with a very cliché last scene that was totally predictable. Both main characters are extremely unsympathetic, so you couldn't care less what happens to them, and the baddie sounds way too civilized to raise the intended feeling of a horrifying threat. The whole thing is so repetitive and low on action that it became seriously tedious and the opposite of scary, so as a horror flick it failed on all accounts.
