It looks very creepy – watch the trailer here. It’s opening in theaters in late May in just a few weeks. “130 million people take road trips every year. 15,400 of them are never seen again.” A few weeks into their van life adventure, a young couple witnesses a horrific accident that leaves the driver dead. Soon they’re being pursued by a demonic stalker who’s impossible to outrun and follows them wherever they go. It has a supernatural concept that’s seriously chilling! Something is after them no matter where they drive to next. Starring Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell, and Melissa Leo. This featurette focuses on how many crew members thought that the set was haunted – with strange occurrences during production while they’re filming in the woods. Hear more from them below.
