Although I really didn't enjoy this movie or agree with its POV or central ideas, I did find it compelling. The acting was very tight all around, with hardly a false note in the whole movie...that's tough to pull off when the script's themes are so hyper-dramatic and over-torqued, but the director and actors were up to the challenge.
Sets and scenery were also very well done. The most chilling parts of movie, and the most effective, were the ground level panning shots near the base of the water tower, as the movie progressed. There is very little visible gore or blood, just utter stillness and car after silent car, but you know that each car represents at least one dead driver, and the scenes testifies to Billy's horrifying effectiveness. And all these unnoticed deaths also suggests a lethal situation that could conceivably go on for an appalling length of time...and one that any driver on a lonely county road could unexpectedly encounter with no warning. Very disturbing.
So no, I didn't like the movie at all, but I thought it was well made and put together. I wouldn't care to see it again, though.
