John Day - movie review...

Directed by Ahishor Solomon,John Day is lifted from the 2002 Spanish film, La Caja 507 (Box507). It begins with teenage boy impressing his girlfriend by driving into dense forest, and then taking her into an abandoned estate.

This young girl, after lying to her parents, goes off on a vacation with her boyfriend. The boy wants to be different, and he doesn� ....
