Detour to Terror

About This Movie

So, Detour to Terror is one of those TV movies that blends action and drama with a real sense of tension. The story's setup is simple yet effective - a bus full of tourists heads to Vegas, and they suddenly find themselves in the crosshairs of these manic dune buggy enthusiasts. It’s got that claustrophobic feel, as the pacing keeps you on edge, never letting up. The performances are a mixed bag, but there's a raw energy to the characters that adds to the madness. The practical effects are surprisingly gritty for a TV production, especially in how the buggies interact with the bus. It encapsulates a distinct '80s vibe, with a certain grittiness that fans of the era might appreciate, even if it's not perfect.
