The quote above which serves as the title of this mini-review is repeated so often in the movie that I believe it could even serve as an alternate title. In fact, going to the bathroom is a oft-repeated theme of this film. But thank goodness there are no actual depictions of answering the call to nature -- save a few sound-effects.

That alone said, why did I give this movie seven stars?

Well, SD was inexpensively made and poorly videotaped. But the acting was not *so* bad and the film does feature an overweight middle-aged white guy kung fu fighting. That's something. 

And the movie kept me interested. I *wanted* to finish it to see what happens to the four principals.

Finally, I can't help feeling that if the movie were a French production, filmed in black and white in an unpicturesque part of France, it would be considered a triumph of the art of film. I'm not kidding!

The thriller genre features suspense, tension, and excitement. These stories are known for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and delivering intense emotional experiences by revolving around high-stakes situations, dangerous conflicts, and the constant anticipation of unexpected events.

Four friends embark on a trip in an RV, but soon find themselves running for their lives.
