Filmed in New Brunswick, Canada, the film is based on a true story and stars Stephen Rea in the lead role of Tom, a homeless man who is hit by a woman's car and then lodged in the windshield. Instead of summoning help, the woman decides to return home and leave Tom to die, "stuck" in the car as it sits in her garage. Tom must then find a way to escape. The film also stars Mena Suvari (American Beauty, "Six Feet Under" and The Musketeer also with Stephen Rea) and is directed by cult horror director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond, Dagon). |
