The plot: Bob Carter and his wife Ethel, along with five other members of the family, are heading for San Diego with their camper vans. An accident strands them in the desert and while two of the men go for help, the others are forced to wait. They're unaware that they've ended up stuck near the site where, decades earlier, nuclear tests gave rise to a group of mutant monsters who have developed a taste for human flesh.
Its all about survival. Its all about surviving and living to see tomorrow.
I would highly reccordmend this movie.

When I first saw the trailer I expected it to be one of those single character movies, so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't like that at all. I found the storyline interesting and well played out, I also liked that there was a small backstory to Jessie's childhood.
Admittedly, until it was mentioned in the end credits I had no idea it was based on a Stephen King book. This really shocked me as i would have never guessed. It's still a good movie though and now going to have to find and read the book.
