A group of college students on their way to Burning Man take a short cut through the desert and end up getting lost. When the passengers suggest backtracking, the driver tells them he lost the road a long time ago and has no idea how to get back. Seriously? How stupid are you? It was questionable whether this was even a real road or not when looking at the map. So if you're in the desert and the road disappears, TURN AROUND!!As they drive further, they see a shack in the distance and head for it. When they get close, they see the weird guy who stole a dog earlier in the movie. The guy shoots their radiator and one of their tires which causes the driver to go into a ditch and roll the van.
Without any transportation and feeling like sitting ducks, they decide to find the nut with the gun. In the ensuing struggle, one of the kids shoots the weirdo. After covering the body, they decide to try take his truck, but it won't start. They end up staying in the shack for the night which is when they discover there is a creature outside that wants to kill them.
The rest of the film is takes place in the shack while they try to figure out how to escape. The monster is seen in silhouette until the end of the movie and is not all that scary. There is no explanation for where the monster comes from, why it is after humans, or why it only comes out at night. Also how does the virus spread? Is it the smell? If so, why doesn't everyone who smells it turn? Why do their eyes turn orange? What makes those who turn want to get near the monster? It's just a whole lot of questions and an unsatisfactory ending.
Also be fore warned - this is a Brain Damage film. I try to avoid their movies as they are tortuous. This one is probably the best one I've seen, which isn't that much of a compliment considering how bad the other are.
