Open 24 Hours

After two and a half years this slasher is finally out and in the end it wasn't worth the wait. A girl is released from prison after setting her boyfriend on fire and finds a job at a gas station, but suffers from paranoia and has trouble discerning what's real and what's not. Her first night on the job turns into a nightmare immediately after the arrival of a mysterious hooded man who looks like her ex, who starts terrorizing not only her but also all the incoming customers. The film does a pretty good job with suspense, even though it doesn't really get going until somewhere in the 50th minute, and they could have done more with the murders, there are a few decent gory shots, but that would have stunned me maybe ten years ago, I have higher standards now. The film is OK to watch though, it's decently shot and thankfully not a waste of time. I would compare it to the horror film ATM.
