Some spoilers .Highly recommended! Once again we have another multi talented director who transcends a low budget to make a enjoyable film! Stuntman, actor, writer, cinematographer, and director Ted V. Mikels directs his first film, and it is one of his finest! Gary Clarke who also starred in Herbert L. Strock's classic (How To Make A Monster) and Richard E. Cunha's (Missile To The Moon) is perfectly cast as as Jimmy a forest ranger! Also in the cast is beautiful sexy actress Jeannine Riley in her film debut. She later went on to star in the popular television series, (Petticoat Junction). Together Clarke and Riley have the right chemistry! Steven Quinn is very convincing in his portrayal as a psychopathic killer, who Clarke sees killing a man! He later incinerates the dead man's body, inadvertently starting a major forest fire! He then chases Clarke and Riley through the forest trying to kill them with his high powered rifle! This film has a underlying current similar to RKO's 1932 film (The Most Dangerous Game) and (Bloodlust) 1961. In which a psychopath stalks human victims for sport, with the aid of a crossbow! Excellent music by Nicholas Carras who's other credits include (She Demons) and (Missile To The Moon). Fine outdoor cinematography from Basil Bradbury. Director Mikels went on to give us such fine gems as (The Corpse Grinders) not to be mistaken with the (The Corpse Eaters) another fine film about gourmet dining!
