"Wheels Of Terror" is a rather improbable tale focusing on one of the major themes of the modern action film: the chase. A beat up, blacked out but seemingly indestructible automobile is being driven around a rural American town by a psychopathic child molester who is snatching young girls off the street, sexually abusing them, and then letting them go. Until the next missing girl is found in the river, which makes it a whole new ball game.
The protagonist of our invisible fiend is a lady school bus driver, a single mother who has relocated to the countryside to raise her daughter away from the pernicious influences of the big city, but who is surely questioning the wisdom of that move now the bad guy has kidnapped guess who?
So what does the film have to offer? Apart from the slow motion chases there are one or two fairly spectacular scenes, but the showdown is too silly for words. There is no side plot, indeed no plot worthy of the name, no resolution, no anything.
