This one has good and bad points. The climax and ending were the bad points. It's as if they really didn't know how to end it so they threw in the desert and helicopter stuff... followed by the hospital scene.The good to it is that most of it is fairly interesting - all the middle stuff going on is sorta thrilling. The gas station scene is simply weird. I thought for a minute she was trying to break into a wall safe to try to find coins to use the phone, then I realized it was to turn on the gas pump. lol.This would have a really good movie but the ending - when it became daylight in the desert and then the hospital scene was a bad way to end an otherwise decent made for TV thriller.5/10

I recently discovered this movie on YouTube, while trying to find a different movie. I had never heard of or seen this movie before, but I figured "what the heck..." I was pleasantly surprised to find myself sucked into it and 80 minutes later I realized I'd like to have a copy of this movie for future enjoyment. Yes, I'll agree that it borrows a lot from the movie "Duel" but it mixes it up just enough to were people aren't screaming "RIP-OFF" The movie is a bit short though, it would have been nice to have more of a back-story for the killer, we see him loading an army crate into a car, was he a Korean or Vietnam Veteran? Is that how he lost his voice? Was he an assassin or something? Did he live or die at the end? These unanswered questions are one of the things that prevented me from giving this movie a perfect score, the other reason was that there were too many coincidences. Carol just happens to run out of gas, the first time, only feet from a gas station, sure the station is closed but you don't see her having to push the car 5 miles up a hill. The second time she runs out gas it's only feet from a house, (the only one for miles I might add) sure there's no phone at this house, but at least there's people. Yeah, they're not much help but at least there's someone to, at least, verify that she was there. What happened to the Native-American couple before the killer steals their truck? Did he kill them? Despite all these unanswered questions, I found this movie to be quite engrossing and have been going back to YouTube to watch some of the more suspenseful scenes. If you're a fan of these old suspense movies then you should give this one a try, you can find it on YouTube under its original title "Night Terror"

watched it on t.v while doing the ironing very late one night. After reading about it in the t.v guide I thought it wouldn't be very good, but was one of the best things I've ever watched on t.v. I don't recall a terrible lot of talking (because she's on her own in the car being stalked for a lot of the time) but it was so terrifying just to watch. Usually I watch these types of movies just to laugh at them and it was good to actually be scared by one for a change. I just wish I had it on video to show all my friends, it would be perfect viewing for a Halloween party or something like that.

I saw this movie years ago on a late night t.v. movie and haven't forgotten it... It kept me on the edge of the couch and couldn't get to sleep for hours... Not that it was terribly a good movie... just one of those that you remember for a long long time. If anyone out there knows where I can get a copy of this I would appreciate the info. It's about a woman that is being chased in a car and always running into dead ends, or out of gas or anything else that can possibly go wrong. I can't quite remember why she is chased.. just how awful it was.
