    This movie is a great phscological thriller that keeps you on edge throughout. Our story begins with Beth (Mithcell), the owner of a quiet highway side diner. She just gets everything set up when a young stranger (watson) enters, injured and appearing to be scared out of his mind. He claims that thier are three surfers chasing him, and that they were the ones that hurt him. But when the three show up, they seem very far from that. The man (Lucas) beth speaks to is very calm and extremly charming. It doesn't seem that he could be dangerous!! Packed with action and suspense, this is a must see movie!!!

    A well acted movie with enough twist and turns in it to make any Alfred H. or M Night Shyamalan fan happy. Worthy of your A list of movies. Leaves you in the end wondering if they meant to make a sequel to it or what was so important for all that mayhem? Also kind of leaves you with a why me chuckle in the end.
