A carefree vacation to exotic Argentina turns into a sun-soaked nightmare for two young women who find themselves at the mercy of a cunning psychopath in this remake of director Robert Fuest's 1970 thriller. Stephanie (Amber Heard) and Ellie (Odette Yustman) are biking through the Argentinean countryside when they stop to spend the last night of their vacation in a secluded village. When darkness falls, the girls wander over to the nearest bar, where a handsome local charms Ellie while Stephanie heads back to the hotel to good night's sleep. But her rest is interrupted when Stephanie returns to the hotel with her new friend in tow, and a booze-fueled altercation ultimately leads the girls to miss their bus. The following day, Ellie leaves Stephanie alone in the countryside following a heated argument, and grows concerned when her traveling companion fails to meet her at a nearby restaurant shortly thereafter. In the wake of a chance meeting with American expatriate Michael (Karl Urban), whom she had previously seen getting into a minor altercation at the bar, Stephanie reports Ellie's disappearance to local policeman Calvo (César Vianco), who immediately dismisses her suspicions of foul play. Thankfully Michael displays a bit more concern than the local sheriff, and agrees to assist Stephanie in searching for Ellie. But now the more Stephanie confides in Michael, the more she begins to fear that he may have had something to do with Ellie's disappearance, and that by sticking with him she may be walking straight into his trap. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This is an excellent thriller! Amber Heard ("The Stepfather," 2009) and Odette Yustman ("The Unborn") are fantastic young actresses. This movie kept me on the edge of my seat for the whole 90 min. and everytime I thought I had it figured out something changed. There is no gore of nudity, it's just a thrill ride. If you enjoy this movie I recommend watching 2008's "Shuttle."

    I thought this movie dragged for the first 50 minutes. Then it really picks up fast. It quickly changes from 2 annoyingly airheaded girls on vacation to a suspense thriller with a couple twists. Bad girl gets kidnapped and her friend goes above and beyond to try to find her in a foriegn country. She can't trust anyone she meets.

    Odette Yustman - The Unborn she is so hot, amber is hot too, but the movie name doesn't match the story it sound like some horror ghost or killer movie, not the story, but the story is crazy , it can happen to ppl, so its a lesson to learn and be careful where u travel, Michael is cute lol
