My god It's a remake of "The Hills Have Eyes", No seriously it's not but it very well could be. Nothing original about this film, it is very very similar in story and style as "The Hills Have Eyes" I mean it's not shot by shot but it pretty much the exact same setting, An RV, The desert, a gas station, a giant rocky hill, cannibals etc... The only different thing is we have a bunch of ravers as our good guys and a bunch of zombies that are controlled by the cannibals by a concoction of some juice that they give people to drink or force them to drink. (In all honesty my attention span went out the door during the part that explained this, but I got the idea). Overall the film did have some good things the pacing was alright but at times it drifted off into nothing, The effects were alright, at least the special effects. The Make-up effects are another story. And it had plenty of hot actresses. The acting is kind of up in the air, the script was so odd and the dialogue used was so annoying that it leads me to believe that these actors did a good job at being annoying, so I got to give them credit for good acting, although after a while I wanted to jump though my TV and beat the crap out of that Hommie G kid (Why did he have to live).

Overall it was not an original horror film, it really just felt like a bad remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" The characters reminded me of all the fake losers you see at the mall or in High School that think their cool but their just a bunch of idiots. It's worth the rent if you just want to laugh, My thoughts were it was so annoying and so bad that it was good. you decide for yourself although you have been warned.
