A Number of Slow Scenes
31 October 2014
This movie begins with 4 young high school girls and their teacher named "Miss Tenney" (Brenda Fogerty) traveling in a school bus on a camping trip to an isolated part of California. On the way, they encounter 3 motorcyclists who become interested in them. One of the young men named "Jay" (Robert Gribbin) is a decent fellow but the other two, "Al" (Zalman King) and "Pete" (Robert Porter) are hardened criminals who have recently gotten out of prison, and the sight of these females brings out the worst in them. So, when the school bus breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they seize the opportunity with great relish. Now, rather than disclose any more of the movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it, I will just say this film came with several others in a 2-dvd set called "Drive-In Cult Classics" and I was hoping to find at least one or two good movies in the whole bunch. Unfortunately, this wasn't one of them. Not only were there a number of slow scenes, but some of the others were completely ridiculous as well--especially the ending. In any case, while I have certainly seen much worse films in my time, I thought this one might have potential. I was wrong. Accordingly, I rate it as below average.
