After a major brawl at a bar while two young men named Scott (Shane Johnson) and C.J. (Josh Hammond) are partying with some of their girls they are stalked by a mysterious black cadillac on a stormy winter night while the two of them along with Scott's younger brother Robby (Jason Dohring) are heading home.
They are stopped by a police officer named Charlie (Randy Quaid) as he says his car is stalled and needs a lift back to his house.
While they are on their way the cadillac chases them off the road and doing other events causing these people to be firghtened by this incident thinking that Charlie is held responsible for this incident and kick him out of their car. But then Charlie is shot by the person driving the cadillac and then is on the lookout for the three guys as they are held as witnesses.
The three of them tries to find every way to outsmart this killer by driving him off the road but he seems to end up returning.

 

Although this film was fact based it seems extremely fabricated and just meant to be a fictional movie.
This movie is excellent and extremely mysterious as you wonder who the killer in the black cadillac is just like in other movies like Joyride for example.
This is what makes the viewers interested as there's lots of twists and turns. You just wonder why is this madness happening and you also wonder when the killer in the car will show up next.
I would advise this to all horror buffs as you're guaranteed to enjoy it if you love suspense with your horror.

The acting is great by these three young and talented people.
Shane Johnson makes his role Charlie believeably temperamental as you wonder whenever he gets violent if he's going to kill the person or not.
Josh Hammond's role is very goofy but acts tough when he needs to be and can really pull it off.
Jason Dohring is terrific with his emotions and deserves good credit for it.
It's nice to see Randy Quaid back in the spotlight again playing the strange sherrif Charlie and makes his role very mysterious. It makes you wonder why he is in this picture and it makes you think to yourself "There's something not right about this person"

A deer is gutted tied to a tree with its ribs exposed.

Johnny's the man!!!! He is first priority for making a horror film like this and uses the perfect environment.
He shows excellent shots of the black cadillac mysteriously showing up without anyone expecting it and then coming in for the attack with its engine roaring up.
He also directs a great bar fighting scene too making it look very believeable with some of the local toughs threatening to have a brawl.
He knew exactly what he wanted with each cast member too.
He deserves an award if he hasn't gotten one already and is the top director to make a mysterious horror film like this as his work is for sure very mysterious.

Chris Bell is a newcomer and does a very good job with his composing.
He makes the music very icy around the spots that needs to be and I can see him working in future films too.
