The bare bones plot that is nothing but a device.
No chemistry between the two main characters - you'd think they had just met on the movie set. Overuse of extreme facial closeups, which serve no purpose other than to annoy the viewer.
The characters' behavior is inexplicable. Who drives around in circles for hours until it's dark and their car runs out of gas? Why does it not occur to them that the signs they're following are wrong? And why would anyone think this is frightening anyway, unless being dumb is scary? The bad guy doesn't incite fear. He appears to be more of a practical joker, which is not the impression you would get from someone who is supposedly trying to "terrorize" people.
And then ... finally! A car graveyard instead of a hotel! Maybe we're getting somewhere here, maybe it means something, maybe the plot will advance! ... No such luck. Lots of running around in circles in the dark now, finding nothing, getting separated.
Wait! Sudden plot twist out of nowhere... that goes nowhere. And then the final scene, an absurd non-ending that is perfect for this dud.
Thank god the movie is only 85 minutes long. Curious? Don't bother. It's not even bad enough to be good.
