For nine months in my early 20's, I ran a hardware store next to one of the largest truck stops in the US. I'd regularly come across stuff that would make me feel physically ill.
Truck Stop Women was, for me, a little too reminiscent of those sights/experiences. Maybe it was the casting that hit a little too close to home, the prostitutes in this movie definitely looked like lot lizards.
The story would have been interesting had there been any character development to support it. Instead, this movie is propelled by mounds of greasy, hairy, unappealing human flesh undulating to the brink of hardcore, without the slightest attempt at generating any pathos towards the central characters.
This was pretty much the kind of movie I was looking for when I went down my 70's Drive-In / Exploitation rabbit hole. Now that I've experienced it, I kinda wish I hadn't.
Four stars for being shot in the beautiful state of New Mexico.
