Dimension In Fear (DVD)

A psychotic serial killer escapes from the asylum and goes on a bloody rampage across the west. With the body count climbing, homicidal maniac Cal Lewis makes his way to Las Vegas as police race against the clock to locate and capture him. Pretty TV weather girl, Dedra Hagan, is also heading to the gambling mecca, on her way to a new job. When Dedra's car breaks down in the Nevada desert, Lewis drives by and offers her a ride - on the deadly highway to Hell.

Ron Jason gives a fiercely stark performance as the deranged homicidal maniac in this 1998 thriller from low-budget master Ted V. Mikels (Astro-Zombies, The Corpse Grinders, Blood Orgy of the She Devils). Several of Mikels' regulars - Shanti, Liz Renay and Dolores Fuller - appear here, along with Gene Ellison Jones and the director himself, who does a cameo as the motel desk clerk.
