A couple is carjacked in the woods by another couple. They take the overheated car to a gas station, where the attendant was infected. From there, it turns into a "survive the night" standoff.
And it's really good. For a modern horror movie, they did a very good job. The characters are well drawn, and they didn't opt for the Night of the Living Dead "everyone dies" ending. There's a genuine sense of tension through most of the movie. What also pleases me is how well the budget was handled. They skimped in the places that were appropriate - the credits look a little cheap. The cast is pretty limited. It's mostly a one-set movie. In order to make their effects look more effective, the camera jumps around a lot whenever effects are in play. While that's a little annoying, it seems like an easy way of preserving the budget.
