Description: Truck driver on the track accidentally saw the murder and began his pursuit of the murderer. After some time he hands fellow traveler, and they continue to search terrible maniac who rapes women, then kills, and corpses splits.
Review: Richard Franklin, who became famous after «Fantasm»takes on a new movie. He makes the normal slasher about the driver transporting meat, which must meet with a maniac killing women hitchhikers.
The plot of this film is reminiscent of the «Halloween» and shot later «companion», «Clothes for murder» and Joy ride. But the professionalism with which Franklin went to the artistic presentation of the plot, the film brings to a greater extent «Window into the yard and another creativity Hitchcock than the creature, and John carpenter.
Journey across the Australian desert road becomes additionally spicy, when we can suddenly meet with kangaroos or evaluate the merits of the Dingo dogs accompanying the main character.
Stacey Kitsch leaves a pleasant impression, as the leading role in this film. Looks like Oliver reed actor, who was in those years, a real rebel, shows himself as a true professional. Only to wonder for what reasons, this actor has become a real, full-fledged movie star 80-H.
Participation in the film Jamie Lee Curtis creates additional aura references to the «Halloween» and «Psycho» (in which her mother played the lead role).
The film deserves the attention of all lovers of слэшеров and are keen on creative work followers of Alfred Hitchcock. As an added bonus wonderful original soundtrack by Brian may.
