Don't expect something like Ju on or The Ring. It may appear
similar but the approach is different from those movies. There is this urban legend where the scares are build on. But look closely at the
source and the main character and you will know something is off. There
are two twists at the ending which will motivate you to watch the movie
again. I think that for the avid horror fan there is not enough gore
and action. The pace is a bit on the slow side. And I do think it would have made more
impact if the movie had a faster pace and had there been more
murders. But I understand that this movie is more about the atmosphere. The
cinematography and location (the toll booth in the middle of nowhere)
provide an ambiance which is creepy enough. In combination with the
slow pace and the urban legend concerning 29 February you will be drawn
in the movie. The main character is likable and not annoying. Even when
you suspect something is wrong with her you will care for her. This is
key for the two twists at the ending. I have to mention that this film is part of a series called 4 Horror Tales. As of yet I haven't watched those but I will and review them when I get the chance to. This one is worth the watch as long as you keep your expectations in check.
