WATCHSCIFI: Idaho Transfer
“Idaho Transfer” (1973): A Minimalist Sci-Fi Gem with a Haunting Finale Stuff we love, hope you do too! Peter Fonda’s Idaho Transfer is an indie sci-fi film that doesn’t need grand visual effects or a bloated VFX budget to leave a lasting impression. Instead, it thrives on a quiet, creeping tension, a stripped-down aesthetic, and a Twilight Zone-style ending
