Re-watched it later, a decade later and was as good as that time.
It's a good solid horror.

While I agree that the set up is promising (every time you leave the car, you could die), I can't help but find that the characters were annoying and that the plot left too much unused. Just driving, yapping and arguing until the next beat.
Characters traits were shoehorned in for little or no purpose. The brother masturbated in a scene that said little more than "you are so dead". (because that's what teenage boys do, right?) From out of nowhere, the sister is pregnant, because she is so going to be the final girl. And while watching the ending, I half expected Bobby Ewing to step out of the shower.
So I was not really on board with this one, but I do see that I am clearly in the minority here.
