This was an interesting and plausible small budget thriller, that knew how to build awkward tension and suspense. It's about three teachers on their way to a Dodgers game when their 62 Belair experiences fuel pump issues. They pull into an old wrecking yard and are bewildered that no one is around to help. One teacher starts taking a fuel pump out of a 53-54 Bel Air when your introduced to the antagonist, and his girlfriend who begins to torment the trio. The film goes a little long but overall is effective and the climax and end to the antagonist Tibbs is quite good. The best bit of acting comes from a teacher named Carl as he tries to plead with Tibbs and appeal to the fact that they were young and would have had parents. Arch Hall plays an effective serial killer, but he and his gf spend alot of the film doing a redneck giggle back and forth and she only whispers to him. The worst acting comes from the female teacher Doris, screamy damsel in distress and at times were wooden somehow outfits the killer. Ok watch for fans of B movies. 2.5/5.
