Kevin K. I came across this film as a positive recommendation for something to watch on Netflix. Whatever list or article, it was sorely mistaken. I’ve seen worse horror movies but that wouldn’t put this flick in the realm of good. Still better than network tv I suppose, though that’s not saying much either. The plot makes almost no sense. Nothing is explained; there’s barely a logic structure or any kind of well defined characters. The ones in this story are barely flushed out enough to earn a passing grade in a middle school creative writing class. Barely. Overall, it was fine. As is the perennial Netflix standard: better than a kick in the nuts.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/28/25 Full Review Richard P So many of Stephen King movies are just bits and pieces of scary stuff with no real plot or conclusion. Totally unsatisfying Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Beelee C The story revolves around an Eastern philosophical theme of samsaric suffering. The story has no real beginning (consistent with Buddhist theology). It starts in the middle of a seeming endless circle of events where Betty and Cal entered the grass (after hearing Tobin's call for help). Travis followed the clues and entered the grass as well while searching for Betty and Cal. In a true time loop (samsaric cycle) fashion, Travis's call for help lured Tobin and family into the grass. The cycle was to repeat endlessly with its accompanying horrors, deaths and rebirth (or re-spawn). Soon, it was made clear that Travis was responsible for sending Betty and Cal on the road (by being the worst human being possible). At that point, it dawned upon Travis that he had to sacrifice himself in order to break the cycle and save everyone (Betty, Cal, Tobin and family) from entering the vicious cycle in the first place. A true masterpiece that captures the horrors of cyclic existence in Buddhist theology and the means to break out of it.
