a group of friend break down in the middle of nowhere ( one have a flat tire and the other jeep mysteriously would not start ) . one of them take the tire to a run down service station and that be the last anyone see of him . when the remain foursome go in search of their friend and they come across nice mr. slaussen who offer to help fix the jeep and offer cool drink and refuge from the heat in his equally run down and hermit like house and which happen to be occupy by very realistic look mannequin . he go with the one guy in the bunch out to work on the car and leave the 3 girl in the house . before he go he warn them not to leave and go up to the house behind his shack while he warn them about davy and his brother who be lurk about and isn not all there . of course and one of them decide to venture out in search of a work phone and be never see again . be it slaussen . be it davy . the mannequin . tourist trap have the usual horror requirement ( jiggly big boobed girl and goody two shoe girl and curiosity get the good of people and never work out . ) and but it stand apart from the rest of the 70 genre in it twist of an end . i start to feel sorry for slaussen ( chuck conners be a terrific and creepy and over the top performance ) at a point in the film and and you almost see the character of molly do the same . this be a gem if you can find it while i have tap it off of cable when i be young and and walk through a used video store i spot a vhs copy that be totally overpriced and but well worth it . fan of tanya robert would not be disappoint either . best part of the film for me be the scene with the soup ( and cracker . ) i give it a 7 because some of the movie be and still be hard to explain .
