This could be taken from a generic Stephen King short story: couple of guys messing with the wrong weed (as in plant, not as in chemical stimulant). Or maybe it’s not weed but some animal life from, what it is in any case is hostile to people who cross its path, and this is learned to full painful effect by the people who end up (some as kidnappers, some as kidnapped) at an abandoned gas station. What is actually attacking them once they are there is a bit zombie-esque, and is equipped with quite fancy stop-motion-like mobility and elasticity. How you fight it and whether you survive follows genre conventions, however, making the audience feel right at home from the beginning. I wonder whether they will make it out of there? Not all of them they don’t… Average but solid.
