A group of college co-eds embark on a weekend-long camping trip as part of a Cultural Anthropology project to research an internet “creepypasta” urban legend. Having settling upon the Joshua Tree legend of the “The Rake,” a terrifying, long-clawed humanoid creature who emerges to feed only on the Equinox, which happens to be tomorrow, Kennedy, Jade, Noah and their TA, Ethan, head deep into the desert to chase the myth and prove the story untrue; what they find, however, chases them and has them fighting for their lives!

My quick rating - 3,3/10. The effects are literally the Creature from the Black Lagoon in quality and the monster looks a whole lot like the 1953 classic as well. But this isn't some homage to that, it is a group of students doing a school project on an urban legend. Of course the one they pick happens to be a couple hours away, and real. So insert your tropes, watch them die in fairly everyday ways. Ok, i tad better than leaving all to the imagination but still a shoestring budget. That isn't always a bad thing but when you have no creativity in your story, that leaves a lot of work to acting. Well, they didn't get any help there either.
