While, by necessity, made for TV movies tend to formulaic, this entry in the horror genre was remarkably fresh in many ways.
Set in the gorgeous New Mexican rural areas it is a film that touches all the usual buttons but does so in a way that enables lead Anthony Zerbe to showcase something of his prodigious talent.
There is some attention paid to local custom that helps to allow the viewer to forget for a time that he or she is watching a television show and to get some of that ambiance one usually only finds in a theater.
I haven't seen it since it debuted in 1991 and so would like to allow someone who is able to view it to also have the opportunity to do as I did and savor the film's twists and turns without any other description.
Are there better thrillers out there? Of course but this is a little gem from television that we are unlikely to see the likes of again any time soon.
