Warning: Spoilers
OK... let me sum this up: A lady played by Darryl Hannah is driving home at night. After stopping at an old gas station and meeting a strange hillbilly hick she soon has to step on the break when meeting Amy standing on the dark road with blood on her face. Here "The cycle" takes on a really innovative storytelling device (Hah!)... the whole story is told by Amy while the 2 are driving through the backwoods. Wow! Actually the story is pretty tame.... 5 students out to take soil samples on some abandoned land meet a strange handless hillbilly hick (no, its a different one!) and then have their motor-home shaken. But thats not all... after digging in the ground they soon find graves which are not 100 years old (like they expected from a major accident that happened there some time ago) but the corpses are rather "fresh". Spooky... of course soon hillbilly hick 3 appears (looking really ridiculous with his hood on and the constant slobbering) and hunts them down. Guess what... only Amy survives. There is no gore here, the kills are pretty tame, not so say boring and thats basically it. Now of course you're back in the car and it really takes a dive even deeper from here.

Spoiler alert!

They go for the "She is just a ghost" thing that reminds me a lot of the Twilight Zone Episode with the dead hiker. To top it off it makes no sense... because soon some of the hillbilly's are back and we learn that Amy comes our every year and lures drivers to their death at a gas station. Now why would she do that?? Because she left a map marking the graves there. Funny thing is she just mentioned it in her story on a side note, also the gas station has a new name and looks totally different now and they just drive by there to call the cops and get some gas. The whole ghost twist is ridiculous ... I'd rather watch "Rest stop" than this utterly boring and pointless movie.
