The Hitcher (DVD, 2007, Anamorphic Widescreen)

It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It is not a gory film but a triller/ spine-chiller... or something with this effect. It starts out with the situtation and background info, but then gets right into the action and never lets up, and will keep you hooked till the end. I would recommend this to any horror fan!

REAL GOOD HORROR MOVIE ABOUT A HITCHER THAT NEVER GOES AWAY. AT TIMES IT SEEMS HE IS SUPERHUMAN AND NOT REALISTIC,BUT THAT IS WHAT MAKES A MOVIE A MOVIE-THE UNREAL. GOOD ACTION,GOOD LOOKING ACTORS/ACTRESSES MAKE THIS A DECENT MOVIE TO WATCH. MUCH BETTER THAN THE C. THOMAS HOWELL MOVIE OF THE SAME NAME. GIVE IT A TRY,YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

The Hitcher

Go into this film expecting very little and you'll enjoy it. It's not meant to be a very scary movie and it's not meant to be taken very seriously.

It's gory and action packed from start to finish, it's predictable but that's ok. The acting is decent, the action scenes are great, and the scenes that are meant to be scary are very decent.

A high note for me was the soundtrack and the use of music in this movie (maybe because a Music Video Director made this movie) but it really added a cool, hip element to this film.

Final Verdict:

4/5

Worth Buying?: If you're a slasher fan it is, if not, it's just a rental.

For crying out loud - not another genre remake presented in "Stinkerama"! How many times do Hollywood studio hacks need to remake a successful original into a hack imitation to get the message that it's not profitable? The homoerotic tension that lifted the first film above it's genre formula are completely missing here. It isn't even fun rooting for the hitcher on this dopey road trip, and they couldn't do enough bad things to the young leads to satisfy me. It's dumb.

I have watched several movies before with Sean Bean. This is one of his better movies he has played in. He plays an awesome "hitchhiker" in this movie. This is "Sean Bean unleashed and unstoppable." The action scenes and the picture quality in this movie are good. The movie keeps you on the edge. You never know where the movie is going or the motives behind "The Hitcher."

The movie bears little resemblance to the original. Maybe that's ok but, in my way of thinking, if you take the time, expend the money and effort into doing a remake or revision the results should be at LEAST as good as if not better than the first. This was neither. The original soul of the piece had been ripped out. The turned the victim into a woman basically (oh yeah, how original...YAWN) and added her boyfriend so they'd have more sympathy for her in the end. Didn't work. If I saw Sean Bean on a road I'd be hesitant to help him too. He looks like someone you should be cautious of. In the original, Hauer looks like a nice guy you'd like to help and when in that "good guy" mode he plays it to perfection. More gore, more suffering and too much far-fetched "stuff" to make this enjoyable for me. Ah, forget it! Go see the original if you want to enjoy this story.

i saw this film with very little hope when i came out the theater i was blown away by how exciting this movie was,sophia bush did a excellent job in this movie and this movie is all about suspense, its a great movie i loved it!

I bought this movie for a friend. I got it from my mailbox and gave it directly to her. She said it was going to be a Christmas gift, so I have no idea if it was good or not.

the movie i recieved was in very good and the shipping was very fast.i will deal with this person again thank you.

I like this movie! If you like scary movies then this is a must see! 5/5 Stars! Watch it! A++++
VOTE "YES" if you found this Review was helpful!

Movie was pretty good, Sophia Bush is amazing, definitely and under rated actress. She should be coming up in the world soon enough.

This was one of the freakiest movies! It was so creepy to watch someone get ripped apart in between the trucks. I love scary movies they are my favorite genre of movies.

I GIVE THIS A GOOD RATING, I LOVE MOVIES THAT WILL MAKE YOU JUMP OUT OF YOUR SEAT. AND FOR ME THIS ONE DID!! IT STARTS OUT GREAT, AND FREAKS YOU OUT! GET'S EVEN BETTER, MAKES YOU SCARED AND SORRY FOR SOME PEOPLE IN THE MOVIE. BUT AS IT GOES ON IT GETS MORE COP CHASING, HELICOPTER, ETC, KIND OF UNREALISTIC, BUT THEN, YOU HAVE THE GIRL, AND YOU WISH SHE WOULD KILL HIM ALREADY, THEN AT THE MAIN END, YOU KIND OF WANT HIM TO GET AWAY! TILL YOU REMEMBER ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS HE DID! BUT THE ENDING WAS GREAT! LOVED THE MOVIE. I OWN IT, AND WOULD NOT SALE IT, IT IS FOR MY COLLECTION!! GET IT!

I did see what was coming it was great.There was so many twist in turns in this movie.Its a movie i would watch over and over again

I thought that The Hitcher was a very good from the standpoint that not only did it contain the suspense/thrill aspects needed, it also was very realistic. Not many of us will stop for a hitchhiker, especially on a desert road late at night. So when the main characters drove pass this guy, I can see how later when they finally meet he is pissed. The twist from there is cool and its a crazy ride until the end. I wouldn't quite call this a 'must buy' but a good watch since its on cable now.

As far as hitchhiker movies go, this was entertaining. If you like spotting all the mistakes the characters make, this movie has its share. A more realistic screen write would have made this a better film.

Had never seen this remake before, but when I came across this one for a penny,and being the huge horror flick fan that I am, I figured what did I have to lose? So glad I took the chance! I loved it!! I watched it on my portable dvd player with headphones on and got very engrossed in it..it made me jump several times! It was great! Not alot of blood and guts (which I love!)but very suspenseful! I will watch this one again, for sure! I give it two thumbs up!!

You never know just why the Hitcher does what he does.. you're a smart kid, figure it out. You don't know where this cold blooded killer came from, or where he is going.. but you know that when you're in his sights you will never be safe until you're dead. Did you do something wrong? Are you a zealot, a rich brat, holier than thou? Did you do something to get this guy angry? Doesn't matter, cause if he has his way- you'll be just like him.

Great movie, BETTER than the original. Fantastic deleted scenes, loved the behind the scenes shorts that really gave some insight on how good movies are really made. Sean Bean is excellent, taking over Rutger Hauer's original character perfectly. He really has a way of making you gulp over the smallest, innocent gesture- because you know its not small, its everything with the Hitcher. Sophia Bush is okay, the cute girlfriend that steals the show from her whiney boyfriend. Zachary Knighton is forgettable, though whiney just like C. Thomas Howell from the original made him. Neal McDonough is fantastic as the one cop who wants to believe the kids, and knows there is more than meets the eye to this story- he seems to be the only one. Mr. McDonough was just surprisingly excellent. This the movie to see before any cross country trip!

Hadn't seen the movie. Somewhat predictable. Lots of action and suspense.
A bit nerve wracking when the guy keeps *showing up* out of the blue.
Pretty good thriller.

Arrived very fast, its a movie for me that i have really enjoyed watching. the condition of the movie was new, and it arrived new as it was described.
