I watched this solely because of Sumpter as I want to see him in more roles as I feel his only memorable one is still Peter Pan. I feel that him and Elizabeth were the only decent actors but the movie falls flat. The story was cliché and not engaging. There were virtually no scary parts at all and the gore was minimal. I was hoping for some good creepy atmosphere or if that was absent, at least some excessive gore but sadly the movie lacked both those elements. There was no character development and the writers clearly hated all their characters. I also do not mind when the story is not explained fully such as Night of the Living Dead; it leaves a certain amount of mystery to the movie. This movie, although it did not explain everything, was completely uninteresting to the point that I did not want to know and not knowing made the film even worse. Stay away.
A trip with friends takes a sinister turn when they meet a strange little girl on the side of the road.
The plot is very simple. The film is easy to understand, even if you step away from the TV for a few minutes. The plot is a bad point of the film, because I believe the story could be better told.
The production is bad, with few scares, very poor makeup, bad costumes and very bad special effects.
There are few characters, and the cast is made up of good (not excellent) actors. Special mention goes to Virginia Williams.
In a film like this, don't expect an electrifying ending. The ending is bad too!

This movie is a waste of time and money its not even worth the disc its on ,My little kids could have made a better movie than this one for real .....It made no sense at all and I Hope these actors don't make a career of acting cause there worse than milli-vanili......I highly recommend not wasting your time with this movie and hopefully you read this way before you purchase it unlike I did lol ,,,,I am upset that I could have used the last couple hours playing a boring game of checkers or marbles or anything else other than watching this horribly wrote and acted movie ........this movie is nothing more than a paper weight and is a $15.00 one at that ................Watch (NO GOOD DEED) that movie is good or JOE with Nicholas cage not this my wife pointed something out about this movie if you purchased this movie look at the back you will see this pretty brown headed girl with a pink bra on with one of the actors in it right next to her ,,,,this part never even happened ...its very generic ......
I must say I didn't like this film. Allow me to summarise the ludicrous plot for you.
Some kids find a lost girl at a roadside diner and decide to drive her home. Once there the parents of the lost child come home and invite the kids to stay. Everyone gets drunk and high. The Mom of the little girl cuts her leg with an axe then the parents of the year drive off to the hospital leaving their child in the care of a bunch of drunk young strangers. Then a load of stuff happens that is very tiresome, nonsensical and boring.
The acting is good by the two main leads it's just that the story is never really engaging. Also it's one of those movies where the plot is fairly vague with reasons for what's happening and I didn't really care enough about it afterwards to try and reason anything out. There was a pretty weak twist in the end that added nothing to the enjoyment factor. The effects aren't great either a bit of blood some poor CG overall a bit lazy.
Certainly not one I'd recommend.

I know the whole process of making a movie isn't the easiest task in the world, but this movie fails so horribly you are angry that your time is gone. My wife and I had to watch another movie after this to get the bad taste out of our mouth and it still didn't help much. The acting was horrible, i was constantly taken out of the situation by all actors, I'm no Oscar winning actor but I'm POSITIVE i could have sold what was happening better than this group. The story didn't make sense, constantly beating around the bush and never goes anywhere. It feels like they are buying time the whole movie and constantly shooting at weird angles so you don't notice that they are shooting all in the same area. The entity was vague, not sure how the girl ties into anything and they acted like she was one of the main parts of the entity and the special effects were horrendous and not making sense. Avoid this movie like the plague

- TriviaJeremy Sumpter wears a Power Balance Wristband in the film and was bought by a fan in New York when the film wrapped.
- GoofsDuring the heated discussion, one of the young takes the rifle and dumps a boxful of rifle cartridges on the hearth. The rounds make a bell-like sound, indicating that they are empty casings. Loaded cartridges would normally make a dull clunk or thud.
