“Sam Was Here” (* out of four) was an ugly and boring horror thriller about a nerdy salesman named Sam (Rusty Joiner) who is stranded in the desert and you’ll feel stranded right along with him as he begins to go out of his mind with being isolated from the rest of society and then a deranged lunatic suddenly appears and repeatedly attempts to kill him. Even at only an hour and 15 minutes, this moves at a molasses pace and still feels prolonged. If you’re looking to kill time, this beats it to death slowly and painfully. Some pretty shots of the Mojave Desert are this film’s only asset.
