  Penny is dreadful
  
  Least the movie lives up to it's name. If you like the sound of a movie where a girl who is scared of cars gets stuck inside one for a whole movie while a Jason Voorhees wanna be killer is outside playing mind games with her and killing off everyone but the girl in the car, then this movie is for you.
  
  For the 99.9% of people who don't find that scary, this movie is slow, boring, drags on and on, and goes no where. It's stupid, far from scary, and a bore to watch an entire movie set inside of the front seats of a car wedged between 2 trees with nothing but annoying screaming and crying and a bogey man who needs to find a book like 'how to be a scary villain' ... man, Michael Jackson is scarier to think about then this thing.

  The first movie you'll see that you're wanting the girl to actually die.
  
  First off, I'm a big fan of the 8 films to die for. I have several of them, from the 2006 series, 2007 series and the 2008. This movie starts out with a girl and her family in a car and they are involved in an accident. Both parents die and the girl is left with a fear of cars. She's older now and with her therapist is going back to the scene of the terrible crash, in a car, to help her with therapy. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, you realize what type of cry baby this woman(the girl) is. They pick up this hitchhiker, who has them drive out to this remote camp that is closed down for the season(yeah right, I'd do that). They let him out and start driving off and suddenly have a flat tire(right front). The therapist gets out, checks and oh no, its the skewer the hitchhiker had he was eating from. The girl gets out as well, starts freaking out and crying like a baby. The therapist tries to get her back in the car after pulling it from the tire(allowing the air to escape). Finally she gets her in the car and they start driving, but the tire finally blows.(Who cares? Alone in the woods, flat tire, crazy hitchhiker.. I'd keep driving) Anyway, the therapist gets out, goes for help, dies. The girl gets out, freaks out, tries to walk, somehow.. hurts her leg. Goes back to the car. Cries, whines. One part of the movie, the crazy guy some how puts the dead therapist back in the car, key in her mouth and the car is wedged between FOUR trees. The girl is unable to get out. I ask myself, how did he get the car in those trees. The girl tries to "drive" out, can't do it.. but amazingly, she is able to roll the window down and use her FOOT to push against the tree and move the car. Anyways, I watched this movie with my daughter, after about the first 15 minutes of "the horror/torment from the hitchhiker" we was wishing he'd kill her, just to shut her up. I had to force myself to watch this movie, in hopes that the girl would die. I tried to give this movie away to my friend, but they did not want it. I wasted my money buying this movie and I hope you don't waste yours.

  Trapped by your Phobia
  
  Young Penny portrayed by Rachel Miner goes on a retreat with her psychologist portrayed by Mimi Rogers. The psychologist plans a trip with the intention to help Penny overcome her phobia, an intense fear of cars. Unexpected events find her in a nightmarish situation where her worst fears come true, as she allows her fears paralyze her. It is an O.K. story of suspense and horror with some blood thrown in.

  after watching this movie(which kept me on edge) I definitely will never pick up any hitch-hiker(especially in the mountains).

  Simply dreadful
  
  A 90 minute movie of which at least 60 minutes is spent watching Penny cry and dramatize and generally become so annoying that you WANT her to die. Nothing about this movie was original except the title credits.
  
  I was only able to get through it by using subtitles and watching the DVD at 2x speed. It might have worked as a 30 minute act in a trilogy, but 90 minutes of by-the-numbers slasher fare are intolerable in this day and age. Even the schlocky Friday the 13th movies were more entertaining than this cr@pfest.
  
  The only thing I can figure is that the 5 star reviews are all posted by people with financial stakes in this dog's breakfast of wasted celluloid.
