Horror Vault's take

A family outing turns into a waking nightmare when two dangerous strangers force a schoolteacher and his loved ones onto a harrowing road trip through the New Zealand wilderness. What begins as a seemingly random act of violence gradually reveals a darker, more personal dimension that implicates the past in the present terror. Director James Ashcroft crafts a stripped-back, suffocating thriller that keeps the tension wound impossibly tight from the first frame. This is a film about secrets that refuse to stay buried — and the devastating cost of confronting them.
