A wimpy high school teacher organizes a Saturday bus trip for students who didn't do a research paper for his class. They go to a Railroad Museum which consists of not much other than a creepy tour guide who never leaves the fairly barren room they're in. After telling them a dark tale of the danger of the railroad tracks and how often people are killed, he also mentions Railroad Jack - if you see him that means he's already seen you and you don't want that.
On the bus ride, Shawn sits in the back and plays electric guitar. Not sure if no one remembered to bring an acoustic to the set that day, but it's strange.
Since one of the girls spied Railroad Jack on the way to the museum, it's just a matter of time until something horrible happens on the tracks. Surprisingly they don't come into play in the accident which leave the bus stranded in the desert.
When the kids wake up from the crash, the bus driver and teacher have disappeared. While thinking about whether to wait in the bus or try to find help, they spy a carnival in the distance. Most of the group sets out for the brightly lit midway, and are surprised to find it's totally empty.
Forgetting their plight - plus the kid or two left back in the dark with the wrecked bus - the teens decide to live it up. The rides are on and they've got the place all to themselves. Weeeee! But unknown to the them, there is evil at the carnival, tracking their every move and soon teens start dying.
There is an annoying voice over lady who doesn't fit in the context or tone of the film. The bus has the dirtiest windows I've ever seen, and when the reality of what's going on is discovered, it's been done before and much better.
Also our little albino boy wears sunglasses at night and his make up sometimes wears off around his neck. Did they add an albino character because they had a deaf girl in the film, or did they just need to get rid of a lot of clown white? Because there's no relevance to his being an albino.
