The Hitcher (1986)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 97m
Director: Robert Harmon
Cast: Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Synopsis:
A hitchhiker is picked up by a psychopath, who proceeds to implicate him in his lethal games.
Review:
Well made and pacy variation on Duel and The Terminator, but its unexplained menace means that the various strands do not cohere into a new film. Stylishly done for a first feature, but relying over much on nastiness for its effects.
