The Hitcher
John Ryder: Gas stations have cigarettes.
Jim Halsey: What about gas?
John Ryder: I don't need gas.
Jim Halsey: What do you want?
[John starts laughing]
Jim Halsey: What's so funny?
John Ryder: That's what the other guy said.
Jim Halsey: What other guy?
John Ryder: That guy back there, the one we just passed. The guy who picked me up before you did.
Jim Halsey: That was him in there?
John Ryder: Sure it was. He couldn't have walked very far.
Jim Halsey: Why's that?
John Ryder: Because I cut off his legs... and his arms... and his head... and I'm going to do the same to you.

John Ryder: You wanna know what happens to an eyeball when it gets punctured? Do you got any idea how much blood jets out of a guy's neck when his throat's been slit?

absolutely racked to the fuckin max of its fuel cap with tension.
Rutger Hauer plays the most EVIL tyrant of pursuit to utter perfection seemingly like an actual entity from the fact you cannot escape him! He represents the very repressed dark sids we all have and Ryders soul purpose is to get jim to fall down to his level and become the very thing jim wants to destroy.
These characters stakes turn the hitcher into a high octane, no time to breathe or rest, action packed, huge road trip scale horror film that has some genuinely emotional moments as we watch Jims life fall COMPLETELY apart for the 98 minute runtime.
Amazing film absolutely ADORE
