How can you screw something up with such a great location?

Two words: Script. Acting.

The woman playing the waitress - while attractive - should never act again. At least not on the screen or in front of a theater audience. The subpar- Twilight Zone type of a script leads much to be desired. Seek out any of Rod Serling's original series over this badly mishandled dreck. This was way too talky. Less is more. We didn't need to hear half of the foolish words the lead actors were muttering.

The villain was idiotic. The scene with him growling in his car and "magically" hurling lightning bolts on the telephone wires was handled in such a goofy, amateurish way I almost turned off the set right then and there.

Easy pass. Please skip. Watch Spielberg's "Duel" if you want to see an excellent film about a person escaping a crazed motorist on a desert highway.
