Kathy is the alcoholic and smoking addicted mother of the young, but mature teenager Lizzy. They live together since Kathy’s husband Roy left her, and she neglects her daughter. Kathy is supposed to drive Lizzy to her father’s home in the morning, but she sleeps until late afternoon and they have to travel during a rainy night. While driving through a lonely road through the woods, Kathy hits a wolf that breaks her car, leaving them stranded on the empty road. They call 911 and while waiting for the tow truck and an ambulance, the wolf disappears from the road. When the tow truck arrives, the mechanic Jesse tells that he needs to fix the axle and an oil leakage to tow her car. While repairing the vehicle, a monster attacks him but neither Kathy nor Lizzy note. When they seek Jesse out, they realize that they are not alone in the spot. Further, Kathy learns that monsters do exist. Will they be rescued on time?

sigh. I wish that directors and writers today, would understand that audience want to connect to at least one or two characters, to carry their interest throughout the movie. Nope, they still don’t get it. Right off, I wanted the mother to die. And that’s early in the movie. Not good. Then it took HALF THE MOVIE for anything to begin to move. Long dragged out scenes, of awkward monosyllable exchange between the mother and daughter. The daughter is not half as bad as her mom, but is not angel herself. Hard to care if anything happen to them or not. Something else that made it hard for me to get into this. The unbelievable idea of a tween, being more adult than the adults. The mom is as dumb a cliche as they come. The kills were predictable, too easy. And that’s sad, because the atmosphere, the creepiness was there. I went in hoping it would be good, but it did nothing for me. The potential was there though. Not enough background story (how the f**k did that creature get there). And nowhere did we see cops on the scene of an accident. Right. At least, there were no CGI for the monster. Thankful for that.
A very boring and slow moving movie. You can tell the creature is a man in a suit. It’s more like a B movie..
