Stephanie: [on her cellphone, trying to locate Ellie] So it's me, uhm, where are you? I'm at the cow place now.
[looking around for her friend]
Stephanie: Uhm, so call me. Bye.
[starts pushing her bicycle, looking vaguely worried, as car approaches]
Michael: [driver in car] Hey!
Stephanie: Hi.

Stephanie: Coming.
Michael: Yeah?
Stephanie: Yeah.
[continues pushing bicycle, looks back at him]
Stephanie: Any minute now.
[remembers]
Stephanie: Oh, hey, thanks for your help last night with that guy. He was a real creep.
Michael: Yeah, he was.
Stephanie: You know what?
[checks her cellphone for word from her missing friend]
Stephanie: Probably got a flat or something. I'd better go, but see you around, uh...?
Michael: Michael.
Stephanie: [nods] Stephanie.
[pushing her bicycle, about to leave]
Michael: Hey, where are you going? I'll give you a lift.

And Soon Straight To DVD

Good things first, some very nice cinematography of the landscapes. Cool looking deserted town that looks like something from a nuclear holocaust. Now that's out of the the way, on to the bad...

Clichéd characters. The Ellie character is just plain annoying and whilst I'm not a prude her behaviour just invited trouble - she's in an unknown country surrounded by strangers and acts like a complete whore. The good guy character hints at some promise but is taken out of the equation too easily. No inventiveness applied here, nothing you haven't seen a million times. Plus the female leads look like famine victims, especially Ellie - neither of them would have had the strength to fight off any kind of attack. I don't know if this is what Hollywood considers sexy nowadays but if so you can keep it.

Only rent if there is absolutely nothing else.
