      Audience Member Someone has escaped Greenwood Mental Hospital, broken into someone's home and stolen a car. And now, they're on the loose. Could it be Stephen Slade? He has the same car as the one that has just been stolen. And why is he stalking Belle Adams (Hayley Mills!) when she heads home from the bar with a truck driver that assaults her? He saves her and then keeps telling her less than truths to stay in her company. The evidence keeps piling up, as through flashbacks gradually reveal that Stephen is a voyeur — and Belle is an abused orphan whose uncle used to watch her, so maybe they aren't meant to be — and when they stop for gas, the one lone female employee ends up dead. As they avoid roadblocks — at first because Stephen's been drinking and later because they may have injured a motorcyclist who was bothering them — it seems like they're growing closer. But is that the worst possible thing for Belle? Or Stephen? Directed by Sidney Hayers (Burn, Witch Burn; Assault), this film definitely has the giallo vibes of red herrings, mistaken identity and a question of who the killer is well in hand. This doesn't get discussed much but it's definitely worth a watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review delysid d This movie is simply total crap in every dimension Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/28/18 Full Review Audience Member This is a clever film. Even when you know the outcome it's still intriguing to watch it play out. Plenty of twists and turns. A little ham acting here and there but Hayley Mills and Simon Ward pull off polished performances. Hitchcock-esque tension and gritty life issues keep you watching. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Flashes of style and suspense on a nothing-budget--Rarely seen but well worth tracking down!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Simon Ward helps Hayley Mills after she was attacked while hitchhiking her way to the train station , lets hope he looks after her because last night someone escaped from the mental hospital leaving death and destruction in their path , with the police on their tail after leaving the scene of a crime they drive across country trying to escape from the police and from the clutches of the mad strangler who literally could be anywhere !! Id seen this movie years ago and even tho i remembered the story i enjoyed watching this one again all these years later . 8n a half out of ten Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The final scene from this has been etched in my memories for the past 30 years, finally got a chance to see this forgotten flick again and its still not too shabby. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
