Completely idiotic. A man picks up a Hitchhiker, the hitchhiker kills someone and our hero is accused/arrested despite claiming he’s innocent, but then the hitchhiker shows up and murders all the police to help hero escape, so our hero is accused of being the killer and arrested again. This cycle repeats about 4 times, but is never interesting. There’s also a thematic undercurrent about repressed gay thoughts (and how they’re evil?) but the film is entirely too stupid to get its point across.

I can't say for sure whether or not C. Thomas Howell ever picked up another hitchhiker, but I can say that it was a long road to the mustache in Pure Danger a mere decade later.

Çok keyif alamadım. Biraz saçma bir film olmuş, her seferinde aha kötü adam bir daha gelecek ve bir şey yapacak diyorsunuz. Ama saçma olması dışında kendi halinde iyi bir kaliteye sahip.

Three strong performances from Howell, Hauer, & Leigh on top of a tight pace and a narrative that pulls zero punches make up for some occasionally iffy logic & a lead character who's just irritatingly stupid for a good chunk of the runtime. It's tense, gripping, & mostly well put together, & it's definitely an entertaining thriller despite steering dangerously close to nonsense several times. It's also incredibly depressing & almost nihilist by the end, but it works fairly well. Worth a look.

A thriller taking a lot of cues from Hitchcock, and pre-80's horror. It's a decent story and good performances from Howell and Hauer. The only trouble is that this movie is something of an anachronism, in the mid-80's gore was king and this is a goreless heap of suspense. Decent for what it is, but Hopper's derangement isn't quite terrifying enough to make up for its shortcomings.

Is this a ghost story, or some Terminator rip off? Really bizarre characters with bizarre motivations. Some cool action sequences, but little to recommend.

A 70s nihilistic horror film trapped in an 80s psychological thriller. The Hitcher is a dark fairy tale in its stark landscape and unyielding violence, and it stands the test of time as some true escapism.

I saw some of this years ago, but fell asleep during it. Stayed awake to watch all of it this time and was thoroughly indifferent to it. Hauer is ok, but his character seemingly has no motivation. Howell is fine, but Leigh's accent bothered me. The story is pretty much Hauer murdering people.

A gripping film. Rutger Hauer was a genius choice to portray the titular role and definitely stands out amid the rather amateurish cast. For the most part, "The Hitcher" is a fascinatingly haunting offering, darkly-lit, and with some very well-directed sequences (e.g. at the diner). The finale felt a little underwhelming but the ride was a definite thrill.
