A sexual psychopath with Mommy issues picks up a young woman who is hitchhiking to get away from her boyfriend, and ends up kidnapping her. He has already murdered at least one young woman in similar circumstances, so things don't look good for her. This was billed as a psychological thriller, but the bad guy's acting is so wooden it doesn't pass muster. When the damsel is rescued by the persistent boyfriend, the latter makes an unfathomable mistake. Having smote the bad guy to the ground, and being twice his size, instead of putting the boot in, the two of them run off. The finale is simply implausible, but how seriously were we meant to take this piece of celluloid trash?
