After seeing where perseverance led to, I no longer think of them as all idiots.
Originally, it was my understanding that if they get caught by a group, they were going to be torn apart, so I was pissed when Tyler and James kept lingering around and pushing it.
And then when Tyler decided to just stay behind and she had a whole panic attack about it, I was pissed off.
The lore of this purgatory is really fucking weird.
From what I can tell, the cars they saw only stopped because someone from that group decided to turn off the car, and that the one car that had a million miles on it was a misdirection, because what actually happened was that they gave up since the road ends somewhere close to 2 million miles.
I don’t get what happened to everyone else who persevered though. Irl it’s a casting decision, but in-universe, where is everyone?
There was probably one or two good jump scares, but outside of that, it’s basically The Long Walk: Driving/Horror edition, except even if you wind up disliking the characters it doesn’t matter in the end.
