Haunting drama about a James Dean look-alike (Martin Sheen) and his very young girlfriend (Sissy Spacek) who idly stands by his side as he goes on a state-wide killing spree. What makes the film so chilling is the lack of remorse of it's two lead characters, Sheen is killing because he always "wanted to be a criminal" and Spacek's childlike narration shows that her character has no concept of the reality or the consequences of what they've done.
