Synopsis

A woman awakens from a horrible nightmare. But, the nightmare is real. Trapped within a decrepit, run-down motel, the woman begins to piece together the horror she faces, only for creaking doors, broken glass, a rifle and a fateful encounter in the backseat of her car to bring her face-to-face with a monster from hell. [From the Movie Description]

Commentary

This is one of those “We don’t know what the Hell is going on here” type stories, right up until the end. There’s no story here; this would make a really tense scene in a larger film, but it doesn’t really tell us anything about what’s going on.

On the other hand, it’s really well made. It’s all outside at night, but you can see everything, which is always good. The sound is excellent, although there’s no dialog. What we see of the creature is pretty cool and terrifying.
