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.

Efficient Remake of 80s cult classic
