The Hitcher (1986)
 email this review to a friend
I want to die.
Robert Harmon, director of Nowhere to Run and the Jesse Stone TV movies gives a great Hitchcockian suspense thriller here that keeps you interested until the end.
Rutger Hauer is creepy as the psychopath. C. Thomas Howell is all grown up from E.T. and gives an excellent performance as the confused kid who is being chased by Hauer and blamed for his deeds. Young Jennifer Jason Leigh made this the year after making Flesh+Blood with Hauer. Not as good an ending for her.
Now, I would advise people not to pick up people on Texas Highways. Some evil things go on down in Texas. As to Jim Halsey (Howell), we'll just have to wait until Hitcher II to see what happens to him.
