Keeping the violence — and the villain — mainly in the shadows, the filmmakers build to a climax that’s frustratingly dumb and drawn-out.

"Like so many average thrillers, ‘The Man in the White Van’ commits more to narrative structure than a singular message that will keep audiences thinking after the fact."

Neither true crime, nor true horror, the film ends up splitting the difference, with unsatisfying results.

The tension builds not through gore (the film’s PG-13 rating keeps explicit violence off-screen) but through slow roll of a van’s tires on gravel, a distant engine humming at dusk, and an expansive field that suddenly seems too exposed.

Even a few well-executed scenes can raise the bar and hint at the potential to come in a career. Skeels has potential but needs more reps to get where he needs to go.

Wolfe is personable and committed, Bassinger nails the ‘70s vibe, and Skai Jackson is likable and credible as Annie’s best friend Patty.

I was impressed by the scary factor. Based in 1970 and I feel that they did a great job with time period correctness. It felt real.
