The town (comprising one house, a burger joint and no citizen who isn't a teenager or a cop) is overseen by Sheriff Randy Quaid, who displays all the reverence the script deserves.

3/5

Mr. Cassavetes is effectively black-hearted, and makes a striking figure, and Randy Quaid does a lot with the underdeveloped role of a local sheriff.

There is all too little of the quietly charismatic Sheen and all too much of Cassavetes, who is a dead ringer for the young Hugh Hefner.

3/10

Most of it is simply far too predictable and inconsequential, working from the flimsiest of premises.

2/4

...a sluggish thriller that suffers from a lack of cohesiveness in its half-baked narrative...

2.5/4

It does not achieve the same absurdist grandeur of, say, "Sky Bandits" or "Mannequin," which are essentially live action cartoons. But it means well.

I thought it was a good movie.

There are many that would like to throw this into the "B Grade" cheesy 80's bin because it is easy to type cast it this way. I have to disagree however. The camera work is fine, the acting is fine, the music is great, (yes 80's of course). It's an enjoyable watch, when I was a kid and still today.

I love this movie. I've watched it a hundred times and could watch it a hundred more.

An underrated 80's movie that, while it has it's problems, has an amazing concept. The music for this film is amazing. This film takes on a serious theme of abusive relationships, and is treated as very serious. This film is definitely worth the watch and gets too much hate.

Charlie Sheen ajelee ja kostaa kummitusautolla huvittavassa 80-luvun B-leffassa. Leffassa ei hirveästi ole järkeä mikä tekee vajaasta puolestatoista tunnista ihan hauskan. Elokuvan pahis on murhaan syyllistynyt stilettiä heilutteleva kovanaama joka jostain syystä haluaa hoitaa kaunat kilpa-ajamalla. Pyssyistäkään ei ole puutetta mutta silti... kilpa-ajoa! Kilvan ajoa kevyillä kauhu ja sci-fi elementeillä. ** 1/2 /5
