There's a psycho on the bus who has escaped from a mental facility and he is dangerous. He will kill if provided with the right triggers. Say "Hello" to Marshall Thompson (Wyckoff). He looks like an everyday kind of guy. He acquires a gun on his bus journey to town and heads to a bar where they have a TV screen that unfortunately transmits news bulletins. Well, Thompson can't have that and the film moves into a hostage situation where he gives the police a deadline to speak with someone or else he starts killing. There are 6 unfortunate people locked in with Thompson and we watch to see if they can make it out unharmed.
It's an interesting film that follows the mundane and amusing bar chat between various characters whilst they make plans for the night, etc and then all of a sudden, it's all change as they become the targets of psycho man. We get tense moments and the characters do ok. The women are a bit annoying - barfly Virginia Field (Freddy) has a terrible laugh which lets her down. Andrea King (Helen) is just a bit pathetic on occasions although she is part of the amusing conversation with the man who is sliming all over her. He is cringe-funny. I think it's Leon Ames in this role.
An entertaining film with good use of the air con system as a point of relevance and fascination. It may have you looking at air con systems in a new light. Also, bus drivers have a gun and holster placed very showingly above their driving seat! What on earth is that crazy system about? Surely someone must have figured out the simple equation of gun + psycho = disaster. Not in America.
