Overview

Charlie Cox should have stopped for gas in California. While he's on a cross-country trip with his teenage daughter, Joleen, his car hits empty in a creepy town in Nevada. With nary a drop of fuel to be found, Charlie and Joleen stop for the night at a dilapidated trailer park. There, Joleen catches the eye of two teenage boys, Jimmy and Pinky -- either of whom could be the serial killer currently terrorizing the town.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A taut thriller that traps a father and daughter in a desolate Nevada town where charm and menace become impossible to tell apart. The claustrophobic setting and shadowy intentions of the locals create a mounting sense of dread.
