Reeking of quality or rubbish?

Advantages: Interesting ending...if you get it
Disadvantages: Generally not that memorable

A group of five teenagers are sharing a ride to a party in the desert. On the way, Trip admits that he has a huge stash of ecstasy tablets on him and the driver, Gretchen, who is anti-drugs, tells him he must find another ride - just as well because the dealer Trip stole them from is following him with revenge on his mind. Gretchen agrees to drive him back to a diner where he can arrange another lift...but on arrival, they find the diner is deserted ...
...strange things start to happen - there is a weird smell in the air and very strange people appear and then disappear. What is causing the smell, and who are all the strangers? Will the dealer catch up with Trip? And will any of them survive the experience? As with many horror movies that involve teenagers, few of the characters are very likeable, although there is an attempt to give them more background than most films of this type. Gretchen can ...

...a horror movie, and so REEKER was my choice. The opening scene with the woman and her family immediately surprised me, and, truly delighted that this wasn't going to be one of those low budget horror flicks that stick to a formula, I settled back prepared to enjoy this movie... thinking I was in for a movie treat. But low and behold, after the excitement of the opening scene, the film turns to the college students... and this is a bit of a bore ...

Doctors decide that a physiatrist may be the best option for Regan, but when all else fails Regan’s Mother is forced to turn to the church… I wasn’t around when The Exorcist was first released back in 1973 but have heard numerous things about the film ...
...to watch the film but have always been hesitant due to all the harrowing things I’ve heard about it. The film has been named ‘The Scariest Film Of All Time’… fitting? I still don’t know. I have heard about people committing suicide after seeing the film but curiosity got the better of me and surely 36 years after it’s initial release the film wouldn’t be able to achieve the same shock factor would it? That I can’t effectively answer, after seeing ...
