Q: The Winged Serpent and
It's Alive director
Larry Cohen returns to the horror genre with this installment of Showtime's
Masters of Horror series concerning the collision of two bone-chilling urban myths. Tough minded Stacia (Faruza Balk) is caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse between deceptively friendly trucker Wheeler (
Michael Moriarty) - who spices up long stretches of road by ruthlessly slaughtering hitchhikers - and charming hitchhiker Walker (Warren Cole) - who has a murderous habit of dispatching with anyone who stops to give him a lift. Though all hope may not yet be lost for the street smart girl with a killer sense of survival instinct, the most terrifying twist of all may still be yet to come. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
