Overview

Thriller

An idyllic weekend in the mountains turns into a harrowing nightmare for an expectant young couple. Three weeks before it’s due date, the baby starts to kick and in a desperate drive to the hospital they suffer an horrific accident. Stuck out in the American wilderness, the couple are stranded and totally isolated. Pinned in the wreck of their car, they begin to suffer from injury, dehydration and infection and the baby is coming. Their struggle for survival grows all the more terrifying as they begin to wonder if they really are all alone.

Trivia

Shot in 15 days on a shoestring budget in California's Angeles National Forest, which doubled for generic American wilderness.

Cultural

Part of a forgotten wave of 2000s 'torture parenthood' films where pregnancy becomes bodily horror — rarely from female directors, making this an odd outlier.
