"This
is one helluva thriller" claims Total Film and London's Daily Star
says - "American Perfekt will have you biting your fingernails down
to the elbow!" The movie is a remarkable "lost" treasure
that mixes The Hitcher with Psycho, an ultra-violent, but intelligent
thriller. Something of a rarity in today's film marketplace. Los Angeles
psychiatrist Jake Nyman (Forster) is taking a much needed vacation, an
experimental road trip during which every decision will be based on a
flip of a coin. Meanwhile, Sandra Thomas (Balk), is heading off to visit
her ailing mother in Arizona. After being forced off the road by a mysterious
assailant, Sandra is rescued by Jake. A romance soon develops but —
watch out! — there's shear terror around the next bend...
