Excellent Movie
I bought the movie "The Hitcher" because a few weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to start collecting every movie title released in the United States that involved either slashing or the element of fear for US $5 or less (including shipping) because I enjoy watching those types of movies and am a huge fan. This movie is about a guy, Jim Halsey delivering a car from Chicago to San Diego with the guy driving the car where the story picks up with him in the middle of nowhere on a highway somewhere in Texas. A guy, John Ryder, is standing on the side of the road hitchhiking and gets picked up by Jim. After driving some distance on the highway, they sse a stranded car and John tells them that he killed the driver of the stranded car. John then takes out a knife and tries to stab Jim. Realizing that John doesn't have his seatbelt on, he pushes open the passanger door and pushers John out. A few mintues lates, Jim sees John in a station wagon with a family going on vacation driving next to him. He tries to tell the family, but thay ingore him and end up miles ahead of him on the highway. Jim finally catches up to the station wagon to find that the family is killed. Jim then relaizes that John wants to kill him, so he speeds away in the car that he is delivering. Jim then arrives at a diner and calls the police. While he is waiting for the police to arriave, he orders a cheeseburger and french fries. When he gets his food, he see that a severed finger is placed in the french fries and that's when he realizes that John is close by. Jim then tries to leave the diner but by this time two poloce officers show up and have him arrested and thrown in jail. Jim ends up falling asleep in the jail cell and when he wakes up, the three police officers that are working in the police station are already murdered and his cell door is left wide open. Jim realizes that John is near by, steals a gun and tries to leave the police station. Five police cars show up. Jim then goes to a pay phone to call the police when two police cars show up. Jim takes one of the police cars hostage as well as the police officer, points the gun at the police officer and tells the police officer to call his captain and tell him that a guy, John, is murdering people. The police officer doesn't believe him. Moments later, John shows up on a motorcycle next to the police car and shoots and kills the police officer and also shoots the police radio. Jim then goes to a diner and confronts John. John doesn't say anything. Jim then leaves the diner and gets on a Greyhound bus. After the bus leaves, Jim sees that the waitress from the diner is on the bus and he tries to tell her that his is innocent but before he has a chance to tell her that, the bus gets pulled over and two police officers pull Jim off the bus and arrest him thinking that he killed the two police officers. A police chopper comes to pick up Jim, but John shows up and blows up the police chopper and drives away. Jim and the waitress end up at a motel and spend the night. The next morning, while the waitress is still sleeping, he takes a shower. While he is in the shower, John comes into the room and kidnaps the waitress. When Jim gets out of the shower, he realizes that the waitress is missing. Jim gets a phone call from John and that is how he is told that the waitress has been kidnapped. Now Jim has to rescure the waitress. If you want to know what the ending is, watch this moivie.Read full review

Heed the lesson in this movie - It could just save your life.
I remember watching this movie years ago and since I like crime stories I decided to add this to my collection. While this movie is fiction if you think about it this is sadly something that has happened far to often in our society and the number of victims keep rising everyday, several times a day, in every part of the world. Man if this isn't the perfect example of why anyone should not pick up a hitch hiker and you still do it anyway then you are without a doubt putting yourself in harms way, and if you do make such a decision please make sure you don't have any children with you when you make this bad choice. It's one thing to put your life on the line, but never the innocent children who depend on us to keep them safe. I know it's just a movie, but we all know that what happens in this movie does in fact happen in real life. Great performances by all actors and completely keeps your attention at all times. No dull moment in this movie. Lesson to learned here for everybody. Wishing everyone safe travels.Read full review

Never Pick Up a Stranger!
Robert Harmon's bone-chilling gem of a thriller stars Rutger Hauer in a mesmerizing performance as a deranged hitchhiker who stalks a young Chicago teen (C. Thomas Howell) in the American Southwest. Eric Red's screenplay clearly builds the suspense with plenty of twists and turns to surprise the viewer along the way. Harmon wisely uses the widescreen format to capture the beautiful desert which definitely stands against the low-budget, cheap cinematography of 80's slasher films of the period. Extras: trailer & bios. Which is very sad for this 25-year old cult classic that screams for better extras like a commentary, featurette, or some deleted scenes. I think HBO should give the DVD rights to Blue Underground or Criterion because they could do a better job with this release. P.S.-If you haven't seen this movie yet, check it out, and avoid the Michael Bay-produced remake.Read full review

Classic Timeless and Creepy
At first, I accidentally bought the stupid reboot because it's in Blu Ray format. I hate reboots for this very reason: It does nothing but create market confusion. I have nothing against remaking a film to keep it up-to-date but if you can't summon the imagination to create a new plot, PLEASE spend 5 minutes and think of a new TITLE! As for this movie, it's still just as creepy as the first time I saw it and it will definitely remain in my collection.

Hitchhikers Guide Lesson 1: Don't pick up Rutger Hauer!
Somebody forgot to inform C. Thomas Howell (yeah, Ponyboy) that only suicidal people should offer Rutger Hauer a ride. After teenager Jim Halsey (Howell) nearly nods off on a deserted rainy stretch of highway en route to California, he figures offering a ride to shady drifter John Ryder (Hauer) will help keep him awake with chit-chat (ever hear of Folgers, Jim??). Seems Jim made the ill-advised choice of never bothering to look up the word "insane" in the dictionary. Otherwise he'd have seen Rutger Hauer's mugshot in there. Turns out Ryder is a full-blown homicidal sociopath hellbent on tormenting Jim to his psychological breaking point. While tending to drift into different genres at times (thriller to action to character study & such), The Hitcher delivers bloody shootouts, tense police pursuits, cat & mouse mindgames & enough explosions to give Michael Bay a hard-on. Highly recommended cult classic includes an early Jennifer Jason Leigh performance.Read full review
