A lonely tow-truck driver gets caught in a deadly struggle between a pair of bank robbers with a beautiful hostage, local cops, and a monster that has come down from the Arizona mountains to eat human flesh. Written by Sci-Fi Channel
A group of thieves heist the bank of a small town and shoot a deputy. While escaping from the police chase, their van crashes another car on the road. They make the driver hostage and they run to a forest, followed by the "men-of-law". Meanwhile a "big-foot" chases both groups, and they join forces against the "thing". Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil。特罗哥中尉被派往帝国边境“鞑靼人的荒漠”上的巴斯蒂亚诺城堡。满腔热情的他渴望为国效力,建立功勋;他期待歼灭敌人,但这期待已久的敌人却始终没有露面。特罗哥中尉最终与所有的前辈军官一样,耗尽了自己的意志和生命,最终换来的只是一声叹息。 这是一部描写“期待” 的卡夫卡式作品,展现了人性的扭曲与异化,巴斯蒂亚诺城堡的军人形象十分典型:惨遭横祸的士兵、葬身沙场的伯爵、在荒野自尽的上尉……所有这一切皆是荒诞的人生写照,无不折射出人生的无谓与凄凉。本片被意大利评论界认为是该国70年代最优秀的影片之一。。
