Starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Jason Leigh
Robert Harmon Movie THE HITCHER: Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) temporarily escapes a hitchhiking
serial killer (Rutger Hauer) who continues to stalk and terrorize him until one or the other is dead!
Hellacious Movies Review: A real nail biter with a Titilization Factor of 10! Rutger Hauer will do to
hitchhiking what Jaws did for swimming! The intense and brilliant performances from both Rutger
Hauer and C. Thomas Howell is what sold the movie to its fans! I read somewhere that there were
moments during the filming of Hitcher where C. Thomas Howell was actually frightened of Rutger
Hauer! Said the dude was so intense! So in character he was frightening! C. Thomas Howell was
good, but it was Rutger Hauers haunting perfomance that still gives us nightmares!
John Ryder is evil incarnate!
No where to run, no safe place to hide! Not even the police can save you from John Ryder!
