The Hitcher
The terror starts the moment he stops.
Directed by Robert Harmon
Produced by Feldman/Meeker Productions
A relentless, paranoia-soaked thriller about a young man trapped in a nightmare with an unstoppable psychopath on a desolate highway.
On a stormy night, young Jim, who transports a luxury car from Chicago to California to deliver it to its owner, feeling tired and sleepy, picks up a mysterious hitchhiker, who has appeared out of nowhere, thinking that a good conversation will help him not to fall asleep. He will have enough time to deeply regret such an unmeditated decision.
