Penny Dreadful

Ok so Penny's parents died in a car accident when she was younger and miraculously she was pulled from the wreckage and survived.  Unfortunately now she has a fear of riding in cars period.  Her psychiatrist, Orianna is helping her to cope and to face her fear by driving with her to the scene of the accident.  But then they hit a stranger in the street.  He seems to be ok and they give him a ride into town.  Mistake!  They drop the guy off in a deserted campground after no conversation at all in the car and he's dining on Raw skewered meat in the back seat.  Yummy.

 Shortly after they find that their tire is shot and they can't get back to the highway.  Orianna tells Penny to stay in the car as she's going for help.  But Penny freaks out and goes running after her, tripping hitting her head on a rock and then waking up back in the car with Orianna in the driver's seat, dead from multiple stab wounds. 

Penny's stuck in the car for the majority of the movie unable to get out.  I found this one to be rather boring actually with the stranger/stalker coming back to get Penny as the main draw in the movie and the long suspenseful buildups were not worth the payoff.  I almost fell asleep actually towards the end.

Pass on this one.
