E sì, buonanotte… Più che “film della settimana” ormai la rubrica è diventata “film di 15 giorni fa”! Lo abbiamo visto, infatti, non questo sabato, ma lo scorso… E’ che il tempo per il Teatrino si è un pò “ristretto” recentemente… Figuratevi che non ho nemmeno recensito “Gomorra”, pur avendolo visto (è la prima volta [..
The Hitcher, remake dell'omonimo dell'86, leggendone la trama, dava l'impressione di essere un thriller, dato che così veniva anche categorizzato.Con mille aspettative, seduto sulla mia poltrona, ho scoperto di essere davanti, si ad un thriller, ma inzuppato qua e la di scene horror seppur toccate con "delicatezza".Tutta la storia in sè, non è affatto malvagia.

Well. Another crappy psychological/horror film....though I can't really say it falls into the category of "psychological"....I merely state "psychological" because whoever approved this script for filming should be psychologically evaluated. We follow two twenty-something-year-olds as they head to a friend's cabin for spring break shenanigans. On the way, they meet John Ryder...who for the rest of the film will be chasing them, killing cops and disappearing, and then chasing again.When the young man, Jim asked Ryder why he's doing all of this...his response was "you should know why"....and that was that. WTF? The movie ends, and basically all we know is that Ryder goes around killing people and he has no real identity, at least in the FBI data base. So is he really a ghost? He can't be, if
While driving through the New Mexico Desert during a rainy night, the college students Jim Halsey and his girlfriend Grace Andrews give a ride to the hitchhiker John Ryder. While in their car, the stranger proves to be a psychopath threatening the young couple with a knife, but Jim succeeds to throw him out of the car on the road. On the next morning, the young couple sees John in another car with a family, and while trying to advise the driver that the man is dangerous, they have an accident. While walking on the road, they find the whole family stabbed in the car, and John sees that the driver is still alive. He drives to a restaurant seeking for help, but the police blame Jim and Grace to the murder and send them to the police station. However, John kills the policemen and pursues the

The Hitcher is a remake of the cult classic from 1986. Dave Meyers had the unenviable task of recreating an update on the horror/thriller for new fans to be exposed. However, his transition from music videos to film makes this version of The Hitcher seem like an extended MTV music video with an age restriction. [...]

I was dead set on hating The Hitcher and was convinced that anything it went up against would be better. Memory looked promising: the cover said there was “a surprise twist ending that will rock the very core of your reality”. My core of reality hasn’t been rocked in a few days, so I was game and absolutely sure that Memory would win this match. I would have even rooted for Apocalypse and the Beauty Queen; anything to keep The Hitcher from winning.

Way back in `86, a violent little movie called The Hitcher came along and pretty much ended hitchhiking as we know it. The almost-scene-for-scene remake won't give those who travel by thumb any peace, either. Who would pick up a hitchhiker after seeing what Sean Bean can do? The HitcherCredit: Focus FeaturesBean has the Rutger Hauer role in this "Hitcher," a stylish, jolting remake that has some of the virtues, but also the dramatically unsatisfying amoral plot points, of the original. Jim (TV actor Zachary Knighton) is 21, with a 1970 Olds 442 muscle car and an absurdly hot girlfriend, Grace (Sophia Bush of "One Tree Hill"). They set off from somewhere to Lake Havasu, Ariz., for spring break. Then, on a rainy night in Nowhere, N.M., they almost hit this dude standing in the middle of the road. Jim wants to go back and check on him. Grace isn't having it. That makes for an awkward moment when they meet him at a convenience store down the road. The HitcherCredit: Focus Features "
The Hitcher Starring Sophia Bushpart 1part 2part 3part 4part 5Watch The Trailer First:My Review: I must say that most remakes of late are letdowns, but this was not the case with this. "The Hitcher" rocks it's a suspense horror film with plenty of chills, thrills, blood, and skin plus it even has a nice plot to it with twist. It all begins when two college students and lovers Grace and Jim(which is played wonderful by Sophia Bush and Zachary Knighton)leave their college dorm in Texas and begin a journey home to New Mexico. Along the way of this trip on a rainy night trouble lurks in the darkness, and the couple will learn their lesson next time never never pick up hitchhikers! The terror begins along the highway of fear, you have it all car chases and car crashes, blood and murder and even unlawful detainment! "The Hitcher" is filled with fun, suspense, and terror from start to finish watching this you just grow to hate the evil John Ryder, and it worries you so much that you don't w
