This is distinct from the 2023 movie of the same name, this is a road trip movie of two friends going to pick up another friend. However, being thrill seeking college boys they decided to have some fun and catfish a nearby trucker on the CB radio.
The trucker does not take the prank well, and what follows is a road rage of epic proportions. The trucker follows them to a hotel, and then finds out that when the two college boys pick up their friend who is a girl, kidnaps her.
I’ll leave the rest for you to watch, but it is a movie bordering on Stephen King levels of unsettling. I’ve re-watched this movie a few times now and I still find elements to enjoy about it.
