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"
