Written

Directed

Set
in
the
war-torn
Afghanistan,
a
US
military
unit
is
sent
on
a
mission
to
secure
a
road
used
by
Taliban
/
Al
Queda
fighters
to
transport
munitions.
On
their
way
they
encounter
an
ancient
statue
carving
in
a
secluded
cove,
which
one
of
them
destroys
by
shooting
at
it.
This
unleashes
a
dark
force
trapped
within
the
statue.
When
they
set
up
camp
in
an
abandoned
house
a
woman
arrives
in
a
sand
storm,
and
things
turn
weird.
One
of
the
men
has
constant
vision-dreams
and
soon
the
troops
get
picked
off
one
by
one.
With
its
low
budget
the
moviemakers
managed
to
make
the
best
of
it
and
create
a
military
feel
with
a
supernatural
twist.
Some
of
the
special
FX
look
great
(like
a
torso
in
a
deleted
scene),
while
others
(like
digital
shadows)
look
a
bit
cheap.
The
location
and
theme
is
however
an
interesting
one.
Bonus
features
include
a
commentary
track
by
director
Turner
and
writer
Barrett,
as
well
as
a
writer’s
video
diary
of
the
shoot,
and
a
(crap)
behind
the
scenes
tour
by
Noel
G
(with
a
super-lame
gangsta
act),
plus
deleted
scenes.
