The 'rave reviews' on here are clearly from people who had a personal involvement in this film, because it's complete and utter garbage. The acting is terrible, the characters are terrible and entirely unlikable, it's horribly cheesy, and it's just all-together crap. IMDb seriously needs to figure out a way to start filtering out people who are lying to try and get their movie more watches. I figured since there were SO MANY good reviews, that I'd give it a shot, and I am about halfway through the movie, and LITERALLY created this account for the soul purpose of warning people about how awful this movie is.You might be holding out, thinking 'Well if there are so many good reviews, maybe it gets better!', which is how I got half way through the movie. But the reviews about how AMAZING it is for a low-budget movie are all bull and blatant lies. Seriously, avoid this god-awful movie.

it may seem your usual horror movie where a dumb teen gets killed by a serial killer at first i admit at first its a bit confusing the movie but at the end you see it has a huge plot twist which you did not understand until the end of the movie and you understand why they died and the way they died

Heading out to a rave in the desert, a group pf friends get stranded at a roadside diner and stalked one-by-one by a foul-smelling, invisible killer haunting the area and must try to find a way of getting out alive.On the whole this one wasn't that bad and had some really enjoyable parts here. One of the film's best features here is the absolutely grand set-up here before getting to the actual stalking as this one does come up with some rather enjoyable tactics. The manner in which the group gets stranded at the location is a lot of fun, as is their antics of being there as the various searching around lead to the discovery of the dead animals stored there, the continuous flashes of the ghosts roaming around the different areas nd the sawed-off body still alive that drags itself away here are quite adept at giving this a really great atmosphere of suspense and dread which manages to get work over really nicely here with the actual stalking scenes. This has some enjoyable and somewhat entertaining scenes here with the rather chilling attack on the girl in the outhouse getting sucked through the whole and disappearing, the encounter in the bedroom where he learns something foul is under the bed and must find a way out being out-of-reach of any form of help offered, and the rather tense encounters with the unfortunate one who is in several confrontations with the creature only to come away bloodied and dismembered each time out before the final assault by the gas- pumps which has some really nice suspense of it stalking after them in the motel. There's also the really exciting and enjoyable finale here where they encounter the being on the RV where they're forced to fight it off as it continually appears out of nowhere and really brings out some suspense where it keeps up the different shock appearances and the rather fun chase along the road where he creatures' antics cause the really grand action-packed crash that makes for a grand final half here. The other really big plus for this one is the really nice twist ending here, which is really enjoyable and quite surprising in that it's never really all that apparent an purposefully obvious here which is absolutely well- explained here in the resolution sequence that's really impressive and enjoyable here as there's plenty to like overall here about this. As well as the fun gore and the rather creepy attitude of the killer, there's plenty to like here over the film's few flaws. One of the main features here is the really off-beat pace that doesn't offer a whole lot of big action for this one. Though the first half nicely sets of the atmosphere of the situation, there's very little actual action contained within here as the film goes through the machinations of getting them trapped at the motel rather than doling out the kills, and it takes awhile to get through once they are there anyway which also tends to really rush through the attacks here because it starts so late. The only other problem here is the decided lack of explanations about the creature as there's nothing here about it. This one doesn't offer up a name, an origin or anything about the titular slayer as all of this is inferred here through it's action so getting to know anything here is a problem. Otherwise, there' some really good parts to this one.Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, a clothed sex scene, drug use, children-in-jeopardy and aftermath violence on animals.

'Reeker' doesn't start well. A family are driving down a desert highway, and the little boy is so nauseating, the viewer is instantly longing for him to come to a sticky end. Sadly, while his mother and father (and dog) are duly despatched after hitting a deer with the family car, the little angel's demise is unrecorded.After the opening credits, we meet 'a group of young friends': Trip takes drugs, Jack is blind, Cookie is naive, Gretchen sounds English (but could be Australian or Swedish, her pals speculate) and Nelson fancies Cookie. Trip is being stalked by Radford, his dealer. The acting isn't always stellar, and as the storyline unfolds, it is so foggy it is open to interpretation. And yet, I really, really like this film (and its subsequent prequel, filmed in 2008). There is a genuine sense that the isolated desert, the motel in which (and around) the group stay, in fact their whole world, is removed from reality and doesn't adhere to any rules. The shocks pile up until it becomes clear that, to use a cliché, anything can happen. A truly creepy and unfathomable atmosphere is created.As glimpses of the original family (and the deer!) that are scattered throughout the story hint, the characters all appear to have died, although this is never made explicit (other than a rumbling, earthquake effect signifying the fatal crash of their camper van as they pass from life into death without knowing it). In this limbo state, Reeker comes for them. Drenched in a shimmering effect, the creature otherwise goes through typical slasher/killer motions, but because events around him/it exist in a 'heightened reality', Reeker's appearance takes on an extra dimensional, unearthly quality (the foul stench of death signals his arrival, hence his name). As Reeker claims his victims, they assume similar fates to when they died originally. This is my interpretation; I may be wrong, but it makes sense of events to me. Themes are confounding, but very much worth investing in.The set-pieces encompassing each (secondary) death are by turns stunning, gross, horrific and hilarious. And always bizarre.In the end, only Gretchen and Jack survive their meeting with Reeker. As they are driven away by the police, they see their camper van on its side, the remains of their friends' bodies scattered around it. Despite the creature's attempts to kill them, they could not die because they didn't cry in the original crash. The film doesn't go out of its way to explain the true nature of Reeker, nor the unfortunate events that befall the luckless travellers; the tale is enigmatic, but well worth your time.
