Trivia
The script for this film was originally written with the title "Holiday Nightmare" and was to be shot on a yacht at Catalina Island in 1974 and Robert Blake was set to star. Then Blake was signed to do the TV series "Baretta" and there was a clause in his contract that he could not do any other projects. It took twenty six years for the writer-director to finally get the financing in the year 2000. But, the producer insisted that the location be in Tehachapi. So, it had to be re-written from a yacht to a mountain cabin. Then Eric Roberts was to do the lead, but canceled out because of a scheduling conflict. John Savage was cast in his place at the last minute and the movie finally got made.

An excellent psychological drama with strong performances

I was completely entertained by this good low budget film. It starts out with an innocent trip by two couples and then when another character enters the picture it just keeps building and building to a completely original and surprising ending. John Savage gives a tour de force performance as the psychopathic killer who holds the two couples captive and once again proves he is probably one of the most underrated actors in America, from "The Onion Fields" "The Deer Hunter" to "Inside Moves" amongst dozens of other great films he just keeps going and going. The late Trevor Goddard brings a really interesting character to life as does the rest of the cast. This little independent film needs to really get out there as it is so well written, directed, acted and the production values are so professional. It's a joy to see such a well made small movie. So for independent film buffs this is a must see!
