Personally, I'm surprised the couple survived! They were given plenty of warning not to go to Gatlin. They went anyway. The old guy told them not to go to Gatlin. Then the crazy road signs, which if he thought someone was messing with the signs, he should have gone back and gone down the other road. Then the fact that everything was messed up and no one was around should have been a sign to get the heck out of there. Vicky was sort of getting the idea but Bert was oblivious to everything. Even after going into a house and talking to Sara, he thinks it's okay to split up and stay in the town?? Seriously, if it were me, I would not have even gone into Gatlin. If I ended up there, I sure as hell wouldn't stick around to find out why I shouldn't be there. That is just stupid. It amazes me that in the end Bert actually does something smart considering the whole first half of the movie he was a major idiot! I mean, so what if someone got murdered. You shouldn't stick around a creepy town just to report it. Go somewhere else. This is just one of those horror movies where you want to scream and yell at the characters for being stupid. I give it a six out of ten though because the second half of the movie was decent and there were some pretty cool effects. The whole set up of things was creative.
