A psychiatrist takes a group of her patients out into the desert for a therapy session. They are stalked by a killer.

Cast

Production

The film was based on a script by Ray Dennis Steckler called Warning - No Trespassing. Ted Newsom was hired to rewrite by Hal Freeman, who had made a lot of money making pornographic films and wanted to expand into other genres. Newsom made the script a cross between Ten Little Indians and Friday the 13th . He says Freeman financed the film entirely himself. [1]

Newsom wrote the film to be shot half on location and half in a studio but it ended up being shot entirely on location over two weeks. The film unit was based out of Barstow in California. [1]

Release and canceled sequel

The film was released on video.

Newsom wrote a follow-up for Freeman called Judgment Night about a convicted murderer who escapes prison and seeks revenge. Freeman died before it was made. [1]
