Description: On Christmas Eve a family is driving to a family members home for Christmas dinner. They have taken the same route for 20 years, but this year Frank decides to take a shortcut. While driving they come across a lady in white with her baby and decide to help her. What happens next sends the family into a panic as they watch each of them disappear one by one.
Gore/Violence: Not really any gore or violence in this movie. One person does get shot, but it is more of an accident. Most of the violence is not shown, only the after affects appear onscreen.
Body Count: Quite a high bodycount in this movie. Almost everyone in the main cast die.
Nudity & Sexuality: The only nudity we get in this film is a picture from a poster that the son (Richard) brings along into the woods.
Death Scenes: The death scenes are not shown in this movie, but as the victims are being driven to their deaths by a black car they are clearly terrified and scared for their lives.
Acting/Storyline: The acting was all right. It had its ups and downs but overall it was pretty good. The storyline was pretty simple, but actually really good. The story pretty much takes place on a stretch of road that has no end, but it's filled with a lot of entertainment.
Final Rating: Overall I enjoyed this movie. It started out good, but seemed to go on, and on for a while where the same thing happened to everyone in the group. There is a twist to the storyline at the end, which makes in a great movie. I definitely recommend that you pick this movie up.
