Steve Belmont (Eli Rich) is the soft-spoken Sunday school teacher of a
small desert community, is well-respected by all the church folks, his
girlfriend Cheryl (Rochelle Taylor) is the daughter of one of the church's
leading activists (Bonnie Sikowitz), and thanks to Steve's efforts as well
as his degree in psychology and his experience with the local youth, he is
made head of the crisis intervention center. That's of course only half
the story: Steve is also a slob who can't hold on to a job for too long,
who's always behind with the rent, and who constantly asks his cousin Neil
(Dennis Gannon) for money. And of course, his psychology degree is a fake ... Now this alone is bad enough, but what nobody knows about Steve is
that he's also the Mojave murderer, who lures girls into his van, rapes
and kills them, then drops off their bodies in the desert. For the
longest time, everything goes well, as Steve has kept his seperate lives
neatly apart, but then he kills a girl (Lisa Nichols) he knew from Sunday
school and the crisis intervention center, and girlfriend Cheryl uses her
leverage with her mother and the church to temporarily close down the center - which pushes Steve over the edge, and he drives
Cheryl out to the desert, rapes her - they never had normal sex because he
can't perfrom under normal circumstances - and then tries to kill her. But
Cheryl manages to put up a fight, and eventually she manages to injure
him, take his car and leave him out in the desert to die ... Ok
low-budget serialkiller-thriller, intelligently enough written,
competently enough directed and decently enough acted to keep the audience
watching - but on the other hand, the film offers next to no surprises,
plottwists or even suspense setpieces to ever rise above average, it's
just one of these films you won't regret to have seen - but you'll
probably have forgotten it in a day or two ...
