I first saw this in the late 90s on a vhs.
Revisited it today.
The creepy n vile Victor Salva gave some of the creepiest movies (ClownHouse, Jeepers Creepers n this one).
The best part about this movie is the character development n the twist.
While the focus is more on the two main leads, Eric Roberts (fresh after The Specialist) n the veteran Lance Henricksen (fresh aft Hard Target n The Quick n the Dead).
Sadly both went towards the stupid direct-to-video movies. This one too is a direct to video but far superior to the others.
Watch out for Brion James in a tiny role. I remember him more frm the episode Split Second from Tales from the Crypt.
Even more tinier role is that of Lin Shaye.
Fans of Road Movies will definitely enjoy this.
Some of my fav road movie thrillers:
Detour, Desperate, The Devil Thumbs a Ride, The Hitch-Hiker, They Live by Night, Gun Crazy, The Hitcher, Delusion, Red Rock West, Joy Ride (my all time fav), Duel, Highwaymen, Breakdown, Death proof, Riding the Bullet, Roadgames 1981, Jeepers Creepers, WindChill, Alone, From Dusk till Dawn, Zombieland, Dead End, Road Games 2015, etc.
