Reviews
- The lexicon of international films wrote that “the moderately exciting story” was based on authentic events and was “set up for television without much effort”. It only touches on "its serious aspects, such as the question of human error and moral or legal guilt" as well as "the psychological problems and social conflicts".
- prisma wrote that the thriller was about "guilt and atonement, trust and betrayal". It is “not a masterpiece”, but offers “exciting entertainment”. Proven lead actors Lee and Coyote would wear it.
This and that
The drama is a film adaptation of the novel "Mountain Madness" by Donald G. Bross and Jimmy Dale Taylor .
