I honored the acting (of many of the performers) and overall production values of this film with a 5. They had a nifty idea for a film, following a number of films of a "haunted road", and they added more to it to enrich the concept away from typical tropes. The problem I found with all these additions is that they didn't add up to anything whole. The film ultimately has a simple narrative that is a "surprise" at the end. Ho hum, not much of a surprise. The various elements become confusing as if they melded several short film ideas into this overall concept. And this led to characters having one dimensional qualities that didn't do justice to what they were experiencing. It is creepy enough that I wanted to see the whole film, but I started the crossword puzzle halfway through it.
