Wheels of Terror (1990 TV Movie)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
Laura leaves the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles for the peace and quiet of Cooper Valley, Arizona. She is a bus driver who relocates with her daughter Stephanie to the country in order to give her a good existence.<\/p>\n
However, peace is short-lived because a dangerous psychopath is on the prowl. He abducts and molests young girls, and when Stephanie is kidnapped right in front of Laura, she goes on a desperate chase through the desert to nab the criminal!<\/p>\n
This is as excellent as a TV movie gets, and the action-packed adventure received a positive response from audiences. The film manages to bring your attention to a serious subject, that of the twisted, insane child-killer, through an intriguing plot. There are certain parallels with Duel that you simply cannot overlook.<\/p>\n
For example, this film, like Duel, never provides a glimpse of the killer. He drives a frightening 74 Dodge Charger, and something about the black vehicles of this type makes them the ideal evil vehicle. In this case, the grill of the car was customized to give it the ideal satanic look. Joanna Cassidy is impressive in her role as the determined mother who would go to any extent to save her daughter.<\/p>\n
Many of you might be wondering how a school bus can keep up with a fast ripping car! Well, in the beginning, there is a scene where they let you know that a racing engine has been fitted into the bus. Although the film is actually a prolonged chase sequence, the suspense and thrill in the plot will get you sailing through the entire length of it.<\/p>\n
