Strange, and interesting ..

Warning: Spoilers
While I thought this movie had it's suspenseful moments, I can't help but feel that I was missing something. Did I miss something?

Small town outcast loner girl runs the local diner and motel. Her life changes forever one day when a stranger appears, injured from some type of stab wound, and draws her into a game of intrigue, terror and even murder. He'd edgy, jumpy and seems to have something to hide. Moments later, 3 more strangers appear who seem to have an agenda. "They are after me, they are the ones who stabbed me!" "He robbed us and we just want to talk to him." You're being followed, stalked, and lied to. Who do you believe? Where do you turn? The local police? Not likely since the town's only officer recently raped you and no one believes you.

** Contains Minor Spoilers **

What transpires leaves you on the edge of your seat at times, startles you at times, makes your skin crawl at times, but leaves so many open ends. Like, what was on the disk? Why was "the disk" the reason that so many people were killed? I was very shocked that this was not answered. Why was the doctor killed? Did he know something? How did she walk away unscathed after being drenched in gasoline when things around here were blowing up?

*****

Overall a good movie to watch at night in the dark, but don't expect a whole lot and you won't be left disappointed.
