Giving this 4 mainly on the acting of Casper van Dien who does a good job of portraying a truly creepy psycho. The plot was predictable with all the old 'the villain ain't dead' tricks. Why don't victims in these movies finish the villains off when they have the chance? With a homicidal psycho intent on butchering me if I'd managed to disable him I'd be making sure he never got up again! The interaction between the couple was tedious. With the lack of chemistry between them I doubt if they'd ever have bothered to go off on holiday together. Scene with the cop was ridiculous - seems if you've got a hiking pass there's no way you can be a killer! Too many 'meaningful' stops and conversations between the couple when they were running for their lives. Maybe they were giving Michael a chance to catch up with them and end their crappy marriage. Vaguely entertaining...but silly.
