Duel - 1971 - 7/10

Grindhouse distillation, par excellence.
Businessman, taking the cut through the backwoods highway, annoys - irritates - disrespects the wrong character.
A 1955 Peterbilt, battered, scarred, swathed in diesel and dust.
The businessman, a nervous, high strung Nellie, swiftly realizes that Peterbilt means to murder his punky Plymouth Valiant, with him inside!
Barely any dialogue, just cat and mouse, murderous chase sequences.
A fantastic scene occurs when the Peterbilt thunders side by side with a freight train
Horns blaring, two primeval beasts roar recognition.
