The Hitcher
The open highway becomes a terrifying battleground of blood, metal, fear and murder when a young couple Grace and Jim (Sophia Bush and Zachary Knighton) hit the road and encounter the mysterious hitchhiker John Ryder (Sean Bean) during a violent storm.
The initial encounters with Ryder escalate rapidly as he transforms into a deadly, racing psychopath, and the stakes are raised further when he frames Grace and Jim for a horrific slaying that makes them fugitives from the law. As the carnage mounts and the action pushes you to the edge of your seat, Grace and Jim must fight for their lives and face their fears head-on.

a really good thriller which at times runs frame for frame with the original. shame though that its not as good as the original, dont know what it is, i mean sean is really great, the gore level has been pumped up a grade & some serious eye candy has been introduced just to give the story a slight twist from the original.however it may be too soon for a remake & try as you may, hauer was made for the lead & at the time was at the top of his game.

The Hitcher

He escapes, but Hauer is only just getting warmed up. He butchers a family a little further on down the highway and frames Howell for the killings.
