Girls on the Road (1972)

Fanfare Films
Directed by Thomas J. Schmidt
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Scorpion Releasing)

Two teenage girls recently graduated from high school cruise the southern California beaches. After passing up hippies and other assorted undesirables, they pick up a clean-cut hitchhiker in a military uniform. He turns out to be a closet psychopath experiencing Vietnam flashbacks. He takes them to his friends at an "encounter group", where even stranger people hang out. There is a murderer among them, and it is pretty easy to figure out which one by the time you make it to the abrupt ending.
