I enjoyed this movie, though I am not a great "scary movie" audience. The story was thin, but the acting was great.
The special effects were awkward, but because the primary actors were so convincing, it worked.
It WAS campy and fun enough that I will show it to my teen grandchildren - who watch WAY MORE SCARY films than I do, and have survived, but I think it is one we may all enjoy.
PS How come NOBODY had a short wave radio out there "in nowhere"?
I love driving in the desert areas of America, and know that at least one person living in those odd places, has a short wave radio.
