Reeker (released in the Philippines as Dead People 2) is a 2005 American supernatural slasher film written and directed by Dave Payne.

The plot centers on a group of young adults who are stranded in a desert oasis where they fall prey to a horrific decaying creature.

After a close call with the drug dealer Radford at another stop, Trip escapes and meets a man named Henry driving an RV, who is looking for his missing wife.

Looking for signal reception for his mobile phone, Trip releases from a rubbish skip the still-living head, torso, and arms of a truck driver, who then crawls away.

In reality, an RV crashed into Gretchen's car after Trip stepped out to call for a ride, at the moment when they experienced the tremor.

His wife, Rose, explained to the officers on the scene that Henry suffered a heart attack and lost control.

Gretchen survived the crash because she was wearing her seat belt and Jack, despite receiving a massive head injury and a broken arm, also remained alive in the car.

In the final scene, Gretchen and Jack briefly discuss the fact that neither has any recollection of the accident, and no mention is made of the incidents at the motel.

[7] Kim Newman from Empire awarded Reeker 4 out of 5 stars, praising the film's characterizations, and well used setting, old fashion monster.

Dave Payne is back and working on No Mans Land: Reeker 2 so hopefully there's some more smartly written gore soaked hi-jinx in our future!
