After bartering with a local land owner for a place to set up camp, they spend the night reminiscing over their wasted youth. The following morning they spot an ominous looking caravan, and decide to investigate. Within minutes, an idiotic prank leads to a series of brutal events and a deadly race for survival. A modern plunge back into the worlds created by movies such as 'Deliverance' and 'Southern Comfort' but with a gritty British twang. Kidnap, murder and a hidden past are just some of the reasons these four adventurers should have stayed at home. An action thriller that will make you question who the villains really are. You cant outrun what's in your blood.

Critic Reviews
-
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
As simple exploitation fare, this barely works since the intermittent carnage never gathers much momentum - and a big, bare-knuckle set piece is dismayingly tame.
-
Philip French, Guardian [UK]
It's close in aspiration, though not in achievement, to the Walter Hill classic Southern Comfort...
-
Allan Hunter, Daily Express
An amateurish, low-budget bloodbath.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
There's style and intensity in this nasty little British thriller, but a thinly developed script keeps it from generating much real suspense or meaning as the story gets increasingly brutal.
-
David Edwards, Daily Mirror [UK]
Comes with horribly uneven performances and vastly unappealing characters acting in ways nobody ever, ever would.
