J. Lee Thompson was a survivor. In the early 80s he turned his hands to a slasher. This isn't badly directed - one scene where a person is killed by a parked motorcycle with a spinning wheel reminded me of the scene in Northwest Frontier where Herbert Lom tried to get a kid to shove his hand in a spinning wheel.
The acting is strong. Glenn Ford is in this, a decent size part, and Melissa Sue Anderson the lead. Several support actors looked vaguely familiar.
But the script was confusing. It went on too long and gradually annoyed me more and more.
This film will have its fans.
