Quite amusing.

Mature couple Andy and Karen break down whilst travelling, the birds don't sing, the area is silent, the only movement, tumbleweed. An injured Karen seems the tumbleweeds moving, and the pair fear they are being set upon by an unknown force.

Knowing my luck, if I got stuck in a situation like this, I'd be stuck with a Karen too, and credit to her, she lives up to her name, what a Karen, if I hear the name Andy again, I'll scream.

Not a favourite, but not bad, some wonderfully interesting ideas, and a few creepy themes too, that sinister tumbleweed was a great idea, it worked so well.

It's over the top, it's possibly a little silly, but it's amusing, and there's no denying that Eddie Albert was really good as Andy (ANDY, ANDY, ANDY!)

6/10.
