THE HITCHER

Never pick up a stranger...

A would-be Samaritan picks up a hitchhiker and soon discovers the man is a relentless serial killer. Framed by the cold-blooded murderer for a string of slayings, his only help comes from a caring waitress as they attempt to flee both the law and the hitcher.

Set against a stark desert highway, Robert Harmon’s iconic ’80s cult hit is an atmospheric, sun-bleached nightmare of a thriller. Featuring a mesmerisingly chilling performance from the late Rutger Hauer, The Hitcher is a relentless rollercoaster of terror that never takes its foot off the brake once it starts.
