Completely disliked it.

And here is why:

1st: there are two completely different halves in this movie. The first is more of a survival, with all the moves you've seen before and the other goes revenge style, again, with the most common behavior possible.

2nd: the first part is really boring, I was just sitting there waiting for something to happen. I even began to question if this is a horror movie or not.

3rd: the acting was in my opinion bad.

4th: unnecessary torture. Whenever a movie fails to deliver some horror parts it goes the torture porn direction and tries to get away. Enough with this already.

In the end, tho I can understand people that cheer for Curve, I got to say I seriously disliked it. Annoyed that I found this little movie.

Cheers!

Pretty decent survival movie.

If I had to compare this to another movie it would be "Open Water" except in a car with a killer instead of a shark and a more satisfying ending. In essence this is more of a slow survival movie with a faster paced "survivor girl vs killer" finish.

All of the production, acting, directing, etc are well done. However, as others have mentioned it doesn't really bring anything new to the table, but then again, does any movie these days?

In the end I liked it. If you are looking for a full blown horror movie, this is not what you are looking for. If you like movies like "Open Water" and "127 Hours" then this is probably worthy of a watch.

Basic film

The plot of the movie was basic, those kind of movies are usual. The storyline was just ok, nothing innovative. The characters weren't too many and they weren't very well-developed. The location of the movie was nice. It wasn't a scary movie, nor creepy. It was just intense sometimes. It was a fast-paced movie. In my opinion, it was an average film. Overall, the theme of the movie (survival) was basic, there are too many movies like that movie. In my opinion, the most intense part of the film was the ending scene (the last 15 minutes).

Passes the time

It's a short film so that was good because not much going on tbh. The story as a whole didn't make a lot of sense as it wasn't clear what the antagonist intention was from the beginning, however, for what it was, it had some good lines and fun moments where it makes you root for the protagonist in the film.

It's not something you would tell your mates about it, but it was fun.

I wouldn't call this horror at all, far from it but it had thriller, suspense moments in there, so yeah a 6/10 film - not bad.

boring, slow, disappointing

Starts off VERY SLOW! Was wondering if I was going to make it through the first 10 minutes. Kept with it in the hope that it would "turn around", never did. This was one of those movies that have MANY scenes that are so dark that nothing is visible. Guess it saves on set costs. The ending was unsatisfying, to say the least. The best thing I can say about it was that it was short.

Trivia
When the project was greenlit in 2007, Eva Mendes was set to star as Mallory.

Goofs
At the beginning of the movie, the head-unit she's using in the Bronco to play the music CD is a Pioneer. After the crash, the stereo is replaced with a Sony.

Quotes
Mallory Rutledge: What happened to you? You must have been a person once. You had a family. A mother. You had a sister. What would she think? Finding out who her little baby brother is? Maybe... Maybe you've already shown her. Is that it? Is that what happened?

Alternate versions
In footage reedited into a short "alternate storyline" on the home video releases, Mallory does not give Christian a ride after he restarts her car, and after leaving him behind, calls her sister to talk about the encounter. The car soon shuts down again, and this time upon inspection, she learns a crucial cable has been cut. Unable to get cel service, she happens upon the cabin that appears at the end of the movie in the final cut, and sneaks inside when nobody answers the door. She discovers the phone has been cut, and hides when Christian, who has repaired her truck to use it for himself, arrives at the cabin and enters. The family that is later shown to be victims in the climax of the final cut emerge shortly after his arrival, and it is revealed Christian has been doing contracting work for them. He then commits the murders that are shown after the fact in the climax, and amidst the chaos, Mallory escapes, and in the chase Christian engages in with her, the crash occurs that sets into motion the remainder of the existing film. This is likely an original conception of the story that was changed during shooting to make the murdered family a bigger surprise later on.
