Not as bad as the previous reviews say, but nothing exceptional either. I would classify this more as a supernatural thriller than a straight horror genre. There is some decent desert scenery and I thought the actor playing the bus driver was OK in his role. Also the hot girl was easy on the eyes. One thing I appreciated was the director tried to generate suspense and tension without relying on gore. There was hardly any gore in this movie, and the effects were obviously low budget. The ending was expected and has been done a million times before. I rented this from Netflix and my evaluation is I've seen a lot worse movies but also much better than this. I wouldn't seek this movie out but it might be worth a watch if it came on TV and nothing else was on.
The biggest complaint I have about this film is that is just takes so long to get anywhere and I was never sure where it was really going.
A guy picks up a babe on the highway and the next thing you see is him on the bus. Then he disappears, and one by one everyone is disappearing, so you figure whoever has the bright blue eyes must be the devil.
There just wasn't anything scary about the movie, it was just guessing who was going to get possessed next. It was more supernatural than horror as there wasn't any gore.
Not my cup of tea.

Demonic Activity on a Bus; Poor acting, bad make-up, no story, poor special effects, no gore and poorly executed shock scenes, an all round awful movie. I have no idea why it won awards unless all you need for cinematography awards are wide angle dessert shots. I guess that worked for Thelma and Louise. The sound is too loud at some points and too quiet at others. The characters are stereo typical with no depth. There are no saving graces. Was this a film student flick made with no budget? When you get to the blacksmith scene you tell me what he is doing and/or who is who. I couldn't tell.
This is a waste of time. I watched expecting a huge plot twist or vast improvement in the scare factor. This one is heading for Science Theater 3000 soon.

What we have here is an excellent example of making something out of nothing: no-name actors, a somewhat hackneyed set-up, no sets and zero budget, and turning all that into a final product that was worth watching. Definitely an entertaining horror-thriller, even if it is low on the gore content we are used to seeing nowadays. Somewhat in the mold of the original "Outer Limits" TV show. Probably a bit too intense for "The Twilight Zone".
This is the magic of movie making: misdirecting the audience and creating art out of spit and duct tape. The plot is nothing we haven't seen before, but the dialog was snappy enough. There were a few plot twists along the way, but nothing we didn't all see coming down the road.
The editing and special effects, such as they were, were well-used, and the original music was quite effectively employed in creating tension.
As an average viewer, you could find many worse ways to spend 90 minutes.
As a film student, this film is deserving of some more in-depth study. Here's how to make lemonade out of lemons.

The title is the best part of this movie. First, the movie doesn't even give you a glimpse of hope that maybe it will be good. It starts off slow, and you hope that maybe it'll pick up, but no. It never does. It starts off slow, and it ends the same way.I don't know how this movie got decent reviews and won an award in Las Vegas! It was by far one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen. the acting is horrible, the plot is stupid, and it is supposed to be scary.nothing about the movie was scary! The characters are boring, plain, and all in all sad and dull. please don't waste your time or your money on this movie. You would have more enjoyment sticking your hand in a blender than watching this movie.
