I have not seen this movie in a *VERY* long time, well over 30 years in the very early 90's. Thank you so much for putting this up here. My family and I taped this on VHS back when it came out on HBO in 86/87 time period probably like so many other people out there taped so much on VHS. We watched it a couple of times after that before that VHS tape and hundreds of other VHS tapes were put in boxes somewhere for years and eventually thrown away. This movie truly scared me and as a 12-year-old in 1986 all of this seemed 100% as close to reality as possible and so well acted out. You could feel the terror and anticipation of so much and all of the cast were excellent in this. The desert scenery has something that I can't pin-point. All that comes to mind is that desert is so calming. I believe the actor who played the police officer at the end who Thomas Howell left on the side of the road was the same actor who played the Smurl father in the 1991 made for TV movie "The Haunted." Sorry for the ramble everybody. I miss the 80's and early 90's so bad as I just turned 50 years of age in mid-September 2024. Someone brought it to my attention that there is more life behind me than in front of me. Yes, I will admit to anyone out there reading this, that mortality is something I fear very much and for so many reasons. We all have dreams, goals, regrets and only so much time and health to work towards any given thing while also fighting the regular burdens in life. God bless you all to find whatever you are looking for.
