Wow...is this one bad. A driver-less car terrorizes a Utah town mowing down residents and honking its horn a lot. There are exactly zero thrills in this lame-brained, poorly written, almost entirely miscast debacle. Elliot Silverstein, a director of limited imagination directs in the least imaginative way. There's no wit or style to be found. Instead, we're left with a JAWS rip-off, so dull it's nearly sleep-inducing. The cast includes James Brolin, Kathleen Lloyd, Ronny Cox, and, inexplicably, John Marley (as a small town sheriff!?!) Real-life sisters Kim & Kyle Richards play Brolin's daughters. They're awful. The visual effects are credited to the great Albert Whitlock, but they really seem limited to a reddish/blue tint in the title machine's windows.
