Ridgeback08 A middle aged Dad and frustrated Mom head off to France for a camping driving trip in a vintage car. Now one has to ask the question as to why one would go on a long distance trip in a 33 year old car (as of the movie release in 2006). This choice of vehicle is especially true if one is not prepared to repair said vehicle. The Dad must like tinkering with cars. Guess what, the guy collects and restores them. But then they run into an overly friendly couple who first befriends them and then stalks them. Slowly, oh so slowly, the couple realise that the couple are after their kids. Fortunately, the stalkers are not that bright. But then, neither are the camping couple. Watching this min-series movie will lower your IQ.

littlejem25 I just saw this film and, like my summary line says, think this portrays some of the most inconceivable human behavior that can be put on film. It's technical aspects aren't bad so I won't give it a 1, but it's too bad the camera and sound crew didn't have the support of a credible script. The writers should be taken out and slapped silly.The basic premise consists of1) Stupid Dad takes Stupid Family on a camping trip2) Stupid Dad meets Creepy Guy and his wife3) Stupid Family meets the Creepys over and over4) The Creepys do creepy things and the Stupids ignore it, keep it to themselves or explain it away with non-logic as they are obliged to do 5) The Creepys do their BIG CREEPY THING and, of course, puts the Stupids in mortal peril6) The Stupids somehow prevail (out of luck, fortunate timing, coincidental meet-ups, etc.) and the Creepys are vanquished... The EndIt isn't damning that the plot is predictable (which it is), but that all the explanation given as to why Daddy Stupid does this or that or what drives Mr. Creepy to be creepy is irrelevant. You can't possibly care about all that when you can't begin to believe (much less relate to) the characters. One example, You just ran over someone. What do you do? Forget the cell phone. Call for help? Nah! Why not run around the woods for a while and poke through some old home videos? Oh yeah, don't forget to tell the kids 'Stay here!' before you go running off. Perfect!Skip this one unless you've missed all the horror movies out since you were a kid, or just like bad formula movies.

joanna_goldhagen I stumbled across this show one night when there was nothing of particular interest on and within minutes I was hooked. The first part had me enthralled as I was on edge as to when the creepy couple would appear again, and right from the second they appear on screen you know they have something to hide. The disturbing settings added a great deal of atmosphere to the brilliantly carried off plot. The second part of the drama was absolutely captivating, not since Drew Barrymore in Scream have I ever been jumping up and down for the victim to escape. Although, granted the victim in this case was mostly the teenage daughter Rachel (Emily Beecham)who struck me as looking in her early twenties rather than sixteen, you still sat on the edge of your seat desperate to see her escape from the psychotic couples clutches. The parents of the victims were superbly cast and although the mother's indecisive knowledge of French- quite frankly if you only know a few words and not how to construct a sentence then you do not qualify to knowing a bit of the language- was a little irritating, the plot was captivating enough to overshadow these little problems. Mostly this drama has highly confirmed it in my head to avoid making friends with slightly odd couples and to not invest in "classic" cars, as it appears to be the dodgy cars fault that half of the incidences occur. Thoroughly enjoyable and perfect evening drama.

EsmeraldaHugo An engaging example of the genre of TV drama/thriller. The Alders with their 2 children are on a camping holiday in France and befriend a slightly odd couple at a camp site who then keep appearing everywhere they go. The odd couple's son apparently goes missing and the Alders start trying to avoid the odd couple. Events take a creepy turn . . .Without giving the plot away, all I would say is that this was a well acted and quite gripping drama and much more original than a lot of the 2 parters that are seen on ITV these days.There are a couple of minor 'she/he would never have done that' moments but if you are prepared to engage with the suspension of disbelief then they aren't so major as to spoil the viewer's enjoyment.
