What happened to 'the Hitcher'?
The movie is a phenomenal piece of work. The stunts are good (even for the 80’s - who needs CGI am I right?), the violence and blood is really good and disturbing (who can forget Jennifer Jason Leigh’s scene) and it mostly takes place on the road and small gas stations (smaller atmosphere makes a movie a lot more intense).
In THE HITCHER, California-bound youth Jim Halsy (C. Thomas Howell) picks up rain-drenched stranger John Ryder (Rutger Hauer) on a lonely road. Almost at once, Ryder announces himself as a maniac who has just cut up the last motorist who gave him a ride; now he's going to do the same to Jim.

The Hitcher is a marvelous thriller and Rutger Hauer is truly scary as hell. He is undoubtedly one of the best villains in cinematic history. The game that Hauer and C. Thomas Howell play out makes for a great way to spend an hour and a half of your life.
Aug 16, 2009 · THE HITCHER starts off as a really good horror movie. Atmospheric shots of C. Thomas Howell driving out on the highway, drinking coffee out of a Thermos, trying to stay awake. Looks like he’s been up all night driving.
