Plots(1)
A road trip takes a deadly turn in this terrifying thriller about a young couple (Sophia Bush and Zachary Knighton) tormented by a psychotic hitchhiker (Sean Bean) who forces them to face their fears head-on. The open road becomes a battleground of blood and metal in the race to reveal the chilling truth about this relentless killer. No one knows who he is, what he's after, or how to stop this truly twisted villain. (official distributor synopsis)

Another entirely unnecessary remake. It goes by pretty quickly, but the lack of thrilling moments and logical character behaviour makes The Hitcher a mediocre film at best – and that's only in the stronger moments.

Solid thriller, sufficiently dynamic, bloody, and relentless to captivate for about 90 minutes, with well-staged car accidents and a superb Sean Bean, he plays the killer role perfectly. The duo of teenagers doesn't offer anything innovative, but surprisingly, it's not too disruptive either. As a one-off, it's quite satisfying. If it weren't for the strong original, it could have been above average. I quite enjoyed it and didn't expect much, the atmosphere works, and technically, the film is on an excellent level.
