Today’s horror on the lens is a surprisingly violent and grim made-for-TV movie from 1977, Night Terror!
In Night Terror, Valerie Harper plays a woman trying to drive to Denver, overnight. Unfortunately, she catches the attention of The Killer (played by Richard Romanus), a mute psychopath who spends his time driving up and down the highway, killing random people. This is a pretty well-done and suspenseful made-for-television movie, featuring good performances from both Harper and Romanus. I wrote a more in-depth review of the film back in May so give it a read after you watch the movie.
(Or before you watch the movie. I’m not going to tell you how to do things.)
Drive carefully!
