Goofs
John Sewell had an obvious opportunity to make the motorcycle cop aware that he (Sewell) and his family were being held hostage by criminal-on-the-run Dewar when the latter was clearly out of earshot during Sewell's conversation with the cop. Sewell could easily have surreptitiously whispered the emergency situation or likewise used telling facial expressions which would have alerted the cop to quietly leave the scene and later notify the police dragnet to set up roadblocks.

Only recently unearthed in Australia. This exemplary, very low-budget transposition of 'The Desperate Hours' to a family caravan vividly shot almost entirely on location in Kent by cameraman/co.producer Monty Berman had obviously not been seen by either Quinlan or Chibnall & McFarlane when they wrote it up in their books, since they both describe it wrongly and grossly underrate it.

A lean, mean, moustached young John Colicos plays the fearsome zoot-suited killer on the run with a gun; and like most British films of the period it's enlivened by yet another familiar face every few minutes.
