The Plot: The Original is a movie directed by John Dahl starring: Steve Zahn as Fuller. Paul Walker as Lewis. Leelee Sobieski as Venna. The movie is about Lewis picking Venna up to take her back home for the summer break of college. On the way on picking Venna up. He finds out his brother who he hasn't seen in 5 years was arrested the night before in Salt Lake City. Lewis takes a detour to pick up his brother Fuller. After Lewis picks Fuller up. They drive further to pick up Venna. Fuller spots a CB Radio in Lewis' car, so they decide to do a prank with someone. But the guy who got pranked takes it a bit to serious. And kidnaps Charlotte (Jessica Bowman). And blackmails Fuller, Lewis and Venna to do sick shit to rescue her. Near the end he kidnaps Venna and sets a trap that can cost them their lives. It was a good movie! A very good thriller that had horror aspects in it. The sequel which had nothing to do with the Original. Was filmed 7 years after the Original and stars: Nick Zano as Bobby. Laura Jordan as Kayla. Kyle Schmid as Nik. And one of my favourite actresses Nicki Aycox as Melissa. This sequel had a bit more sadistic side to it. It had alot more darker feel to it instead of a creepy feel. So the Original is for the adrenaline junkies. And the Sequel is for the Gore Hounds. It is similair to the first it has the CB. And someone wanting revenge on a past event. By stalking them over a CB Radio. The circumstances that the victims were in was very sick and you felt a really sympathetic. And what the writer of the movie did to the charachters was very sick and offensive. It was a complete 180 turn from the Original and had a complete different feel to it.
Personal Review: I like them both for different reasons. I love Gore but I also love excitment. But the Original plot was the most interesting and probably the most exciting as the sequel was so silmilair story wise to the Original. Overall they are great films. The sequel is fun to watch multiple times but the Original.... since nothing really shocking happened (instead more a creepy feeling) I think it wears off as the creepiness becomes less scary when you watch it mulitple times. But they are good movies and easy rewatchable.
I will soon do a better review about both movies. And also give my personal rating. This is it for today. Tomorrow Day 9 will be up with yet a new horror movie. So stay tuned and thanks for visiting my page!
