With this poster and the opening, there is a chance that you will be left hungry. There is someone who kills girls, but it has little to do with a slasher or something like that and it takes a while before you can really call it a thriller. Quid has his suspicions, but nothing more than that. So he talks a lot to himself, his dingo, a chatting hitchhiker and with a certain Hitch. Or Pamela. That is Jamie Lee Curtis, who in retrospect got a somewhat too small role.

For a long time it is actually quite a pleasant and cleverly written film. Rear Window on wheels. In addition to the creepy green van, Quid keeps running into the same strange characters, even the news on the radio plays along nicely and the music flies in all directions. More mysterious than anything else, it does not really want to become exciting anymore, but when darkness falls, it all becomes a bit more exciting. The finale in the alley is really something.

Mediocre film about a truck driver who suspects another road user of being a serial killer. Clearly inspired by Alfred Hitchcock, both in terms of story and partly also in terms of execution. There is too little progression in the plot, which makes it tedious (the fact that the film is largely set in the cabin does not help either). Nice ending.

I thought it was an entertaining film, although the tension is not really intense and at the end something happens that was done strangely with the alley.
