Again, another gas station movie. Again, another shooter movie. Again, at night. Again, nobody comes to the rescue. Again, same lame conversations. Again, the movie starts interesting but in 10 minutes everything starts to fell apart. Again, you know what is going to happen because you have watched this movie several other times. Again, this movie isn't realistic because people here act like robots. Again, the movie ends as many others. Honestly, I don't understand why independent movies are not risky anymore. This one is an example.
So, consequently you can skip this movie again, and follow with your life. Again. Happy Halloween.

Oh no! Here we go again...
Better re-watch The Sniper (1952).
I like movies which takes place at an isolated gas station situated in the middle of nowhere.
I thoroughly enjoyed Open 24 Hours (2018).
This movie enticed me via the settings of a gas station but found it to be a disappointment.
Nothing original bah this unnecessary lengthy movie. The editing is so atrocious that the movie gets very repetitive n boring.
The villain doesn't sound intimidating or terrifying n there is absolutely no character study or background story.
This movie is lifted from so many other thrillers. Some of them r mentioned below.
Carnage Park (a psychotic sniper terrorizes a bank robber and his hostage). Carnage Park is boring n had lots of flickering lights n hand held shaky cam stuff.
Roadside (A couple fight for their lives when they are held hostage in their car by a concealed gunman at the side of a desolate road). Haven't seen Roadside but very bad reviews on IMDb.
Phonebooth (A publicist finds his life under threat when he answers a ringing phone at a phone booth. The caller tells him that he will be shot the minute he cuts the call).
Phonebooth is one of the best thriller n everything has already been said bah this movie.
Downrange (A group of friends are killed one by one by a ruthless sniper after they get stuck in the middle of nowhere).
Downrange is violent, brutal n tension filled. It's from the director of Midnight Meat Train.
And the recent To Catch a Killer (A cop is recruited by the FBI to help profile and track down a sniper).
This one has top notch acting n it is a thriller. This has more to do with catching the sniper.
Easy to take pot shots at.
In Night of the Hunted, Camille Rowe plays Alice, who is driving home to her husband after a work conference where she has been carrying on an affair with colleague John (Jeremy Scippio). When John and Alice stop at a gas station in the desert, they find themselves the targets of a sniper (whose accuracy is wildly inconsistent).
Night of the Hunted might have made for a great short movie, but as a full-length feature, it simply doesn't work, the action being repetitive and the script resorting to weak social commentary on every hot topic of the past few years to pad out the runtime. This, coupled with an adulterous protagonist who is hard to root for and who makes very dubious decisions, results in a less than satisfying watch.
At one point in the film, Alice manages to get outside unseen, and instead of escaping into the darkness of the surrounding desert and then heading for the road, she attempts to get to her car that is sat on the very well-lit forecourt. It's stupidity like this that makes us root for the sniper. In the end, Alice supposedly finds redemption by saving a child's life at the cost of her own; I was just relieved that the film was finally over.
