As part of your anniversary, you decide to go camping with your beloved. Your mastery of a tent is shaky, however, and your idea of a motel room in a forgotten town leads to a hostage situation with you and someone that happens to have a gun. Along the way you run over some roadkill, only this roadkill flattens tyour tire, has spikes growing out of it, and is not in the mood to stay dead. So, fleeing, you find a gas station that looks like a good spot to breathe. The only problem with breathing is that it takes time, and time isn't your friend hen contorted things come out of the woodwork and start defying the human anatomy as they twist and turn and start feeding on the things hidden inside your flesh.
O the fun.

What seemed like a bad movie on the Sci-Fi channel quickly turned into one of the more horrific movies I've seen in a while when it comes to great ideas. Not only did the people do well in the story, but the creature effects were good stuff and made me want to cringe. That was because they through out the tennis ball treatment (as the director notes in the extras), opting for someone that could contort and make horrific movements while in a body suit. This gave the thing depth, and the gas station element just seemed like a coffin waiting for its prey. Add to that the fact that everyone had a good backstory, that the dialog wasn't the boring stuff you normally get, and that the movie had some really fearful sequences and you have a great thing shot on a decent budget. I had started to doubt that could be done anymore.

In the extra department, the director explains a little about the monster and I thought that was interesting as well. He says the movements are based on the muscle memory of the creature, noting that if it had taken out a crab then it might scuttle - and so on. He also noted how the station was built, how the people were taught to react, and how the suit worked. This all made me happy, and didn't feel like a waste of my time. Normally I skip extras for just that reason, but this just added to the program and made me enjoy it all the more.

If you want some horror and don't mind it messy, this is for you. It has some terror and some bad death scenes, a reason behind the creature, and a mean ending. It also has good acting in it, making the thing seem real, and some comedic moments. Put that all together and you have a show that has been missing for years. Buy this thing if you want horror - you will not regret the decision.

Great TV series in the spirit of the movies. Supprised they didn't have a second season.
