Review of The Hitcher (1986) by Caleb M — 07 Jan 2010
The Hitcher is a 1986 horror / thriller film, directed by Robert Harmon and written by Eric Red. Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell), a young man delivering a car from Chicago to San Diego, spots a man hitchhiking and gives him a ride.
The man, John Ryder (Rutger Hauer), is a brooding, soft spoken man; when Jim passes a stranded car, however, Ryder's personality suddenly shifts. Ryder calmly states that the reason the car is stranded is because he murdered and mutilated the driver, and he intends to do the same to Jim.
Did he escape?
