The Hitcher

Never pick up strangers.

This is a remake of an 1986 film with the same title, and oddly enough, even has the same scriptwriter involved. A young couple are travelling in unfamiliar territory, when they offer a hitchhiker a lift. He turns out to be a baddy, but they manage to escape. The next day, he returns to haunt them on their journey, and it's not long before they find themselves framed for a string of murders that he has committed. However, this time, he's met his match...

83 minutes, No persons under 18 (Language, Violence)
