🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its thrills from the primal fear of being hunted on the open road, relying on the stark vulnerability of a family against faceless teenage aggression. It explores a straightforward chase dynamic where the highway becomes a terrifying, inescapable arena.
What lingers after the engines die is a raw, unpolished slice of 60s drive-in anxiety, where the clash of generations is settled with horsepower and fear. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: John Brahm
