Synopsis
Never Pick Up A Stranger.

When Jim Halsey stops to pick up a hitcher one rainy night, he is soon dying to turn back time. The man puts a knife to Jim's throat as he tells him to pull past a stranded car on the side of the road. Its occupants have already been brutally slaughtered by the ominous stranger.

Now a bloody game of cat-and-mouse is about to be played out on this desolate stretch of highway, and every car that passes, and every poor soul who rides that road, are going to take part whether they want to or not.

A serial killer thriller! - 4.25 out of 5  (10/6/2000)
Here's a true story for ya! I had a relative that picked up a hitch-hiker and gave him a ride home. The kid's mother was so annoyed that he would do such a thing that she tried every trick in the book to punish him.

The Best Slasher Film of the 80's! - 3.5 out of 5  (9/6/1999)
The Hitcher was always one of my favorites when I went through my "teen horror movie" phase. But, I had forgotten what a great movie it was till I saw it again on DVD.
