What should be an atmospheric horror movie about a young child and her mother caught on a lonely highway and attacked by a "monster" tries desperately to be a tale of the emotional conflict of mother and daughter relationships. It jumps back and forth to past conflicts between the two, yet never gives any depth to the relationship. The acting is hollow, except maybe for the child who delivers her lines with some confidence, unlike her co star, but mostly they are stuck with pointless dialogue and changing visual perspectives that might reflect either bad directing, bad photography or maybe just bad editing.
In the end it is obvious that the "Monster"-- looking like a tiny Godzilla --is a man in a suit crawling around on his hands and knees.There is no menace whatsoever and the confrontation between the child and the monster is laughable..especially since the "monster" has already dispatched a number of adults with little fanfare.
I see so many positive reviews on this page for this pathetic entry into the man in a suit monster genre, that I must wonder how many of these posters are related to the writer/director.
Not worth your time
