It's easy to see why this film was collecting dust on the shelves of 20th Century Fox before it got a brief test release (poor guinea pigs) before being shelved for years before getting put onto home video. There are some movies you can tell from the opening credits are just going to be terrible, and not one bit of positive elements can change your mind. This features a few actors who have gone into better things (Keith Carradine, Gary Busey), and a few with minor careers (Christina Raines, Scott Glenn) that this didn't aide. It also has the most twangy background soundtrack I've ever heard, too much a pickin' and far too much a grinnin' that left me annoyed.
A group of alleged World War I pilots drive their cycles and buggies cross country with the hope of getting to California to get into the movies as stunt pilots. They stop in a rural old western like town and become involved in the attempted rape of one of two sisters, and this leads to a series of gruesome supernatural like murders of those involved. Not as exciting or bloody as it sounds as it has a ton of dull patches where there's nothing but dull conversation (between Carradine, the one honorable member of the brood and tough sister Raines), and after a while, even the country roads seem to lead nowhere other than a much needed nap that this induces. The only hex was on my eyelids to stay awake, that is if my head shaking over how hideous this was didn't do that.
