Why tonight?
- Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
- It goes hard on violence and frights — not a wind-down.
The story
Taking an ill-advised detour en-route to California, the Carter family soon run into trouble when their RV breaks down in the middle of the desert. Stranded, they find themselves at the mercy of monstrous cannibals lurking in the surrounding hills.
