Interminably drawn out, with some good special effects but its characters hauled straight out of the cracker-barrel, it has nowhere near the same minatory charge as Spielberg's Duel.
Tom Milne, Time Out
Rotten
The performances are terrible -- thin and overwrought in the manner of actors trying to improvise without an idea in their heads.
Vincent Canby, New York Times
