4.0 out of 5 stars Scary because it is realistic, May 1, 2005
By KittyK "AsISeeIt" (Studio City, CA) - See all my reviews
I had seen this movie on cable many years ago, couldn't forget it, and searched to find it.

No-it doesn't have a succinct (predictable) plot line. It is the randomness of the murders that is truly cautionary. A girl hitchhiking, a woman whose car has stalled, a woman with a broken air-condition, and so on.

The scenes are intense. Generally the women become leery-and their fear is palpable. They try to extract themselves from the situation, but generally fail.

The scene where a girl is attempting to escape through a field had me on the edge of my seat. As a matter of fact, every scene where I could see a murder coming did. "Hollywood" horror flicks do not affect me so. I routed for the escape of the victims, but to little or no avail.

In my estimation, the directing was right on, as was the acting. I prefer realism for intensity.

This movie stands on its own. Why must it follow the book?

1.0 out of 5 stars CUT to pieces!, December 24, 2006
By JK (USA) - See all my reviews
DO NOT BUY THIS DISC!

I watched this years ago on VHS and was very impressed. Owning a multisystem DVD player, I figured I would go ahead and get the PAL version.

The movie is not only severely cut, missing important scenes and lines, but whenever someone curses, the volume goes way down. Absolutely AWFUL!

4.0 out of 5 stars Best of all the serial killer films, May 11, 2005
By inframan (the lower depths) - See all my reviews
Precisely because of its "artless" low-key low-budget qualities this is the best of all the serial killer films. It's creepy, sleazy, sordid, grotesque, disgusting & banal - exactly as the real people & events depicted must be. The casting is perfectly on-target as are the acting, sets, etc. If you want a taste of what life is like for these guys this must be as close as it gets.
