The Hitcher
The horrific film tells of two friends, Jim Halsey and his girlfriend Grace Andrews, who are on a trip to John Rider. The pair's journey quickly turns into a dangerous nightmare in front of the ugliest initial encounters with Ryder.

The recent assembly-line remaking of recognizable horror titles continues with The Hitcher, a dreary updating of the 1986 Rutger Hauer thriller.

While this new Hitcher has its moments, it just doesn't make for as scary or interesting a ride as its predecessor.

For my taste, it was better off left dead, roadkill on the cinematic highway.

If you can't improve upon your original in some small way, then you're simply churning out assembly-line product for a gradually more disinterested fan-base.

The new version is an adequate technical exercise ... but the attempts at 'originality' undermine whatever meager integrity the original possessed.

Despite its Playboy Playmate heroine and corny-as-hell climax, The Hitcher is still more engrossing than most of the other horror redos unleashed on the youth market of late. I'm talkin' to you, Grudge 2.

[Grace, played by Sophia Bush] can't go six blocks without having to pee, and we're supposed to believe she knows how to fire a Colt 45 and a shotgun?

Eric Red's sturdy genre script from 1986 has been diluted in the worst way possible.

Bloated, boring and over-explained.
