Trivia
The script for this film was originally written with the title "Holiday Nightmare" and was to be shot on a yacht at Catalina Island in 1974 and Robert Blake was set to star. Then Blake was signed to do the TV series "Baretta" and there was a clause in his contract that he could not do any other projects. It took twenty six years for the writer-director to finally get the financing in the year 2000. But, the producer insisted that the location be in Tehachapi. So, it had to be re-written from a yacht to a mountain cabin. Then Eric Roberts was to do the lead, but canceled out because of a scheduling conflict. John Savage was cast in his place at the last minute and the movie finally got made.

Very entertaining low-budget thriller

A friend gave me a video copy of this movie and I really expected it to be just-another-one-of-those type B movies. However, I was pleasantly surprised to be held right to the screen for the entire running time. The writer/director, Robert J. Hyatt, did an excellent job of not only writing a really original story, but directing it in a professional style that gives it a big picture look and there is not a boring scene in it. The cast is terrific and the always riveting John Savage give a brilliant interpretation of a sociopath killer who is completely obsessed with money. I will not spoil the surprise ending that is truly a shocker.
