Synopsis: A woman crashes into a disabled car on a remote mountain road. While trying to get help, she is captured by the monster-like serial killer, Moonface. Using survival skills she learned from her wacko ex-husband, the woman surprises Moonface by actually fighting back.
My take: Despite a clunky title, Incident is well-directed and deserves much credit for this. Coscarelli provides us with a very slick and polished film here, with good atmosphere and nicely done storytelling as it switches between past and present. Some of the woman's MacGyver traps seem a bit far-fetched, but maybe I'm just being picky. As a villain, Moonface is ok, but without knowing any of his background, he just comes across as a second-tier movie creature like Pumpkinhead or Leprechaun. Overall though, Incident presents you with a pretty terrifying situation and a nice twist at the end.Worst First Date: After he talks about wanting to go on a mass murdering spree and then discusses 5 year old prostitutes in Thailand, you think he's charming and you sleep with him? Maybe a bad idea?
