Skip it tonight — this 2014 sci-fi thriller has a genuinely intriguing premise about a road trip gone wrong, but it's bogged down by clunky execution and a convoluted third act that collapses under its own ambition. Unless you're a completist for indie sci-fi, your time is better spent elsewhere.

Plot

On a road trip, Nic and two friends are drawn to an isolated area by a computer genius. When everything suddenly goes dark, Nic regains consciousness – only to find himself in a waking nightmare.
