Sandwiched between Duel and Christine was this less than rapturously received film about a demonic diverless car terrorising a small town in Utah. The scenes with the car itself are quite exciting but when it's ofscreen, the film slows to a snail's pace with unnecessary pregnant pauses, redundant characters and uninteresting subplots.
Kathleen Lloyd ( as Lauren )
Sex : Lauren is mistress to the main character and a schoolteacher who relishes being drawn naked by a pupil.
Death : Lauren is mown down in her own home by the car.
Kathleen was primarily a TV actress with recuuring roles in Magnum and Hill Street Blues. She seems to have retired early in the noughties.
Elizabeth Thompson ( as Margie )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
This was the last screen role for Elizabeth in an unremarkable bit part career.
Kim and Kyle Richards ( as Lynne and Debbie Parent)
Sex : n/a
Death : Survive
The real-life sisters have had similar careers, successful child actresses, not hitting the heights as an adult then finding rebirth on reality TV on The Real Housewives Of Beverley Hills. Kyle has had the less colourful personal life.
Melody Thomas Scott ( as Suzie )
Sex : No
Death : Falls down a ravine after being knocked off her bike
An actress since the age of eight, Melody's life changed in 1979 when she joined the cast of daytime soap The Young And The Restless and has been in it ever since. Being married to the executive producer may have helped.
Geraldine Keams (as Donna )
Sex : No
Death : Survives
Geraldine is a Navajo Indian and made her film debut in The Outlaw Josey Wales the year before this one. She is still working and is a highly respected actress.
