The Hitcher

"This is a good thriller but lacks a bit of something. I saw this on cable in the early 90's in the middle of one of my insomniac marathons. I have never picked up hitchhikers or been one. This is a valid explanation as to why. 😒"

"Rutger Hauler at his best. 8.5/10"

"Hidden gem type of movie. Jack Ryder is a really creepy character "

"Great suspense/horror thriller. Tommy Howell (from the 80’s) is great as the kindhearted driver who is stalked by the super crazed and creepy (but still hot) Rutger Hauer. I was looking for something scary since the countdown to Halloween has begun…and this classic hit the spot! HBO/Max"

"really good 80s thriller/action/suspense movie definitely a hidden gem for me. could have used some actual gore tho in my humble opinion lmao "

"The remake is actually pretty good as well. very suspenseful."

"Shocktober 2024: The concept of a killer who picks one person at seemingly random to psychologically torment and ruin has always been a trope that has interested me. And this movie does it incredibly well. Rutger Hauer makes for a fantastic slasher(?) antagonist and really gives a chilling performance. This movie has got a great tension to it, perfectly packed into less than 90 minutes. I also liked this movies choice to be about a final boy instead of a final girl who is the mouse in the cat & mouse story. It gives the whole thing a distinctly homoerotic vibe (in the sense that all cat & mouse stories have a possessive, infatuation element to them). It's an interesting watch and I'm glad I watched it."

"Best show everrrtr"
