Review:
This is quite high octane and tension and it's got huge car chases and it will make you think twice before picking up a hitch-hiker. Howell picks up Hauer and has his life threatened when he learns the passenger he picked up is responsible for a string of murders and isn't about to let him off the hook. Of course this has one of the most memorable scenes ever in any horror film which I shant ruin, but I will say Jennifer Jason Leigh and "pulling" and that is it. It's not great in a typical horror movie sense, but it does have that sort of honest and realistic disturbing quality which makes this a must see. This does seem like something that could happen and hopefully it serves as a warning to folks about the dangers of the road. If you like intense escape movies you should love this one as it's one of the best (even better than Duel)!
