[[Film Noir]] [[B-Movie]] directed by Thomas Jane. Starring Thomas Jane, Lauren German, Ron Perlman. A couple en route from Las Vegas are forced to deal with a body out in the desert making their honeymoon one hellish ride. The film was shot with the intention of being released in 3D format, but [[Screwed Byby the Network|the studio chose]] to release it [[Direct to Video|straight to DVD]]. Also features a cameo by [[Ron Perlman]], for some reason.
 
This film contains examples of:
 
{{tropelist}}
* [[Accidental Marriage]]: The film opens the morning after its leads get hitched in Las Vegas
* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]: see [[Auto Erotica]]
* [[Auto Erotica]]: Complete with something bad directly following the act's conclusion.
* [[B-Movie]]: At first it looks like its going to be a deconstruction, but questionable green screen effects and narmful acting will make sure this is remembered as one no matter what it's director's intent actually was.
Line 20 ⟶ 19:
* [[Narm Charm]]: For all Dick's narmfullness, there's still something likeable about the guy.
* [[No Ending]]: {{spoiler|Thanks to the stable timeloop, we have don't know for sure who killed Gina (although there's one strong suspect), or the other women for that matter. We have no idea why the cars at the rest stop had been there for so long even when the rest stop was still "open", or how the location of the rest stop moved from about a mile from Bloody Face's grave to almost on top of it. And then there's a matter of that map in the rest stop...}}
* [[Screwed Byby the Network]]: Jane not only feels releasing the movie on dvd instead of its intended 3D theatrical format hurt the film, the final cut is far from his favorite one.
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: Partially averted. While a lot of the green screen shots look extremely strange, this actually works fairly well with the surreal mood of the film. Only a few shots fail outright.
* [[Stable Time Loop]]: {{spoiler|This would seem to be what Dick and Gina have wondered in to}}
