DEATH VALLEY.
God, not seen this one since I had the AVCO EMBASSY pre-cert tape many years ago. Like a lot of the pre-cert material I owned I found it in the bottom of an old cardboard box second hand. I found this one along with SCAREMAKER (aka girls night out with hal holbrook) at the grottier end of portabello road when I was staying with my gran sometime in the early-mid nineties. I used to really like the film so when the scream factory blu hit the shelves I sold a couple of things off on amazon and picked it up.
Turns out its still great!
Though it has some nasty death scenes, the film goes for a more 'hitchcockian' suspense style, letting the audience in on things the characters dont realise. Its just under 90 minutes long and totally gripping with a great performance from peter billingsly (christmas story) and stephen mchattie. Shame its region locked though.
I've stuck a review on amazon, I really need to get back into the habit and write more often, especially while i'm unemployed.
