- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 44 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1976: an older pace and style.
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
A short exploitation film masquerading as a public information film. Two young female hitch-hikers are preyed upon by those who would do them no good.
