He meets a cute girl called Dodger (Lindy Booth) who gets him involved in a game the rich kids play that is something like duck-duck-goose, kinda sorta. The game works like poker in that bluffing and calling bluffs are far more important than the hand one has been dealt….

Sometimes a different route is a good idea.
Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) is still a little messed up from the events of the first film, but not so messed up that he skipped becoming a cop; although being tightly-wound and shooting people for no reason is a bad idea. He takes his girlfriend, Maggie (Kari Wuhrer), out to visit his old friend Capt. Esteridge (played by Stephen Hair this time) when his bitch girlfriend insists on stopping for a hitchhiker … also named ‘Jim’ (Jake Busey), then, as in the first film, things go badly….

Director: Ryûhei Kitamura
Writer: Jeff Buhler based on a short story by Clive Barker
Release Year: 2008
Last train to horror!
Clive Barker, one of the most original and influential authors in modern fantasy and horror fiction, took the world by surprise in 1984 with the publishing of the first volume of a collection of short stories titled “Books of Blood” (five more volumes would be published between 1984 and 1985). In this his first published work, Barker displayed his great imagination and talent, as well as his very personal style of dark fantasy. Hailed by Stephen King as “the future of horror”, Barker soon showed interest in film and began to write screenplays and adaptations of his previous works for the big screen.
