Here they actually give a decent explanation as to why they need the phone back. Don’t go where the creepy guy told you to go, you’ll only end up murdered. Now here is the thing, you might be thinking…it’s just a phone, buy a new one. There is no character building, no emotional impact, no shock value, just here’s a guy who might be a bit of a dick…oh wait, he’s dead.Īnyway, one of the group forgets their phone in the diner so they call it & it is answered by an odd fella who agrees to meet them at a small town a little bit up the road.

I really wish film-makers would understand that killing someone off we literally just met means nothing. After getting a bit lost they stop at a diner where they meet an unsavoury man who is killed randomly later. Jump an indeterminate amount of time forward & a group of friends are travelling across country to see a show. It implies that she is going to be offed by the boy but instead she is killed by someone unseen. Shit, even the family name on the mailbox is Strode. Opening with a ham-fisted homage to the classic movie Halloween, we see a young woman (who wears far too little to be baby-sitting a pre-teen boy) looking after two children but getting spooked out by the boy who tries his hardest to do his best young Michael Myers. The concept is sound, the execution is flawed. Well, even if you’re not this is a movie I wouldn’t really recommend anyway. Are you scared of clowns? Probably best you avoid this one then.
