This movie is surprisingly sharp and suspenseful and it is obviously the prototype for such movies as "In Cold Blood", "Badlands", "When Ya Comin' Back, Red Ryder" and "Natural Born Killers." The dialogue is intuitive and the situations are well thought out. Considering the social mores of the time there are no head-scratching set-ups. This is a cunning and evenly matched cat and mouse game that will keep you engaged from start to finish. It could also illustrate to the young "writers" of today that ... Read More
Rating:  - impressive writing and direction for a crime drama made way back in 1963
I avoided this film for years and years because I suspected it would turn out to be just another B-grade flick about some two-bit sociopath... Man, was I wrong. The screenplay rocks, the direction is solid and, of course, what can you say about the late, great Vilmos Zsigmond's cinematography?
Director James Landis does an outstanding job here, avoids cliches and keeps the viewer in absolute
suspense throughout... I never had a clue where this thing was going, how it would end...and ... Read More

I saw this film as a televison movie when I was going to college in the late 1960's along with my college roommates. I still think it is the most frighting movie I have ever seen. About the time I saw it some ladies had been executed face down in a Phoenix laudramat and the killer was not yet found. This character was on the run for something quite similar.
Bogus action movies and computer generated Godzilla monsters are not scary, just somewhat entertaining.
This movies IS SCARY. ... Read More
Rating:  - Not the ending I remember!
I first saw this movie in the early 1970's on late night TV. I never forgot the ending of the original. Just as you thought the girl had gotten free of the sadist, she looks over next to her in the old truck and there is a rattlesnake on the seat ready to strike her. The latest version shows her getting away unscathed. The new version is pretty good, but the original, really was more emotional and memorable.
Three stars for the new version. Five stars for the original.
Rating: - Worth it.....
I have no idea how Mr. Hall kept up his acting in this cult off-the-wall movie! Kept me on the edge of my seat wondering "what's WRONG with these people!".....lol. Mediocre acting, but still a classic. Was disappointed with the ending, but how could it end any other way?!?!
