Best friends Dakota (James Treick), his sister Chris (C.J. Sibley), her love interest Cameron (Jon Thompson), loudmouth Chad (Christopher Sugg), his girlfriend Brandi (Suzie Sugg), Tyler (Junior Alanis) and Renee (Trina Enloe) go on a roadtrip on Route Nine, right through the middle of nowhere, USA. But Chad seizes the opportunity to do the Route Nine Challenge, which is pretty much a series of more or less dangerous, more or less embarrassing and/or humiliating challenges - from naked hitchhiking to sleeping on a redneck's land without permission -, for his fledgling vlog, dreaming of internet fame. What they don't know is that Route Nine is also the stomping ground of a serialkiller dubbed Dollface (called so because he wears a doll mask), and out of nowhere he comes and kills Renee in front of everyone. The others scatter, but Dollface knows the terrain and tracks them down one by one after sabotaging their car's engine - and our heroes fall one by one by one ...

A rather enjoyable genre piece that starts out as your typical slasher with slight comedic overtones (but manages not to give away the identity of the final girl in the first five minutes), and as such it sure doesn't shy away from rather violent murders - but instead of just going through the motion, it turns into pure survival horror in the third act, and it's there where the film really comes into its own, as once it has made the switch, the tension picks up considerably and never again lets go, especially since in the finale the film sure knows how to surprise and not follow any cookie-cutter pattern. Plus, Dollface's mask is pretty badass in its simplicity.
