Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Sean and Nick stop to help "The Forsaken" and give their car a jump. When The Forsaken's car is up and running Sean get's in his car to drive away but when he does you hear him start up the car. If he was really giving the car a jump his car would already be running thus causing him to not have to start up his car. He'd just be able to put it in gear and drive away.

Kerr....

I'm not a fan of Dawsons Creek, by that I mean I never got to see it but if I can ever watch it I will, but I have heard of Kerr Smith and it was the only reason I watched this movie. What I found, however was actually a really good and in parts scary, sexy, vampire movie. People say it's not original, I think it is. The vampire lore has been modernised (modernized) very well in certain tv shows, but Forsaken Desert Vampires really did scare me, and I felt something for the poor people who I felt were just like me in this horror nightmare being chased by vampires. If you dont like great acting, scary scenes, drama or great music than don't watch this movie, cause it has it all. Plus it has Kerr in a singlet and cars, what else do you need?? I was 17 when I first saw it, and think it's great for people in and around that age bracket.
