There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Has anybody noticed that this film is a complete and utter retread of a classic and chilling but little-seen 1978 short UK film called Panic directed by James Dearden (son of the famous Basil Dearden). It's okay to attempt a remake or update of a film but at least the maker of the new film should give credit where credit is due. The director of Left Turn has most definitely seen Panic but doesn't seem to credit this. Also, there is nothing that instills the same panic in Left Turn that the original Panic achieved so well. A longer running time and some important additional scenes in the original made it truly chilling where this version is just botched. Anyway - why does Ellis assume that everyone has forgotten the 1978 Panic and try and make out the story is his idea? Plagiarism is just reprehensible and Ellis should be ashamed. Arghhhhh!

OK- actors- there are none in this film. There are simply poser idiots who wish they could act- one major problem with these complete idiots is the direction and the complete lack of any acting ability- Imagine the dumbest jock at your high school- now hand him a script he has never seen before- and tell him to read it aloud- now you have the caliber of the dialog in this movie.THis is the kind of thing some idiot wrote while flunking out of film school and his girlfriend thought it was awesome because she smokes crack and has no ability to differentiate crap from a good movie.This is my theory- since it is one of the few situations that can spawn such a useless turd of endless non-acting, wooden script reading and imbecilic non-believable casting.It's crap. It doesn't get ANY worse than this without intentionally trying to be terrible. THE FUNNIEST THING ABOUT THIS MOVIE: These so-called actors all make the same ROOKIE mistake --- they cannot keep their eyes off the camera!! THey look from left to right very quickly in a failed attempt to keep their eyes off the camera and "act natural" You will continually catch these COMPLETE MORONS looking into the camera by a simple lack of any skill whatsoever.I heartily suggest everyone in this movie get a real job quick because none of them have any future in film-making if they stay at this caliber level!!

Feeling sorry for an old hitchhiker who seems to be struggling in the pouring rain, a young woman decides to pick up the old lady after having just heard on the news that a woman had been found dead. She soon gets the creeps about the old lady and tries to get her out of the car by pretending that she has a flat tyre and then speeds away. The events that take place in the next 8 minutes or so will have you gripped to the edge of your seat with an ending that will leave you shocked! Superb acting and cast done it justice!

Excellent "mini" movie with magnificent acting and wonderful cinematography. A woman driving home in the rain learns from the radio that a woman was found dead. She spots an elder, weak-looking woman carrying a large bag and she lets the woman have a ride only because she felt sorry for her and it was raining. The old woman scared her in the car so she faked a flat tire to distract her so she could leave her behind, later noticing she left the large bag in her car. The woman goes to the police to hand the old woman's possessions over to them and discover strange effects inside. A daunting and chilling ending will surely surprise everyone watching this remarkable short film.A Five Star Story!
