Great cast, lame film

Bo Hopkins, Susan Strasberg, Don Stroud, Patrick Macnee and even Larry Storch: How could you go wrong? Sadly, in so many ways. This is a highly disappointing film despite the talent behind it. And no, I don't include Dana Kimmel among the talent here.

I have to disagree, I think it is a nice little thriller that tackles some interesting subject matter. I think that when people look back now they have expectations because it seems to be categorized as a slasher film when in reality it is not. I think that is why many dislike the film.

I just watched it and I'm curious...and I'm not being a smart ass..

What did you think was "interesting subject matter"?

No, not really. I always look at movies "open minded". I agree that it wasn't a slasher movie but for some reason it's labeled as one, but overall movie wasn't good.

It's not horrible, it's just forgettable despite quite good cast because it felt much like late 70s TV movie. I bet that with some minor cuts on blood-splatter, it could easily play on TV.

Yeah, ‘cause Susan Strasburg NUDE in 2 scenes would make it onto TV.

One can only hope.
