Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Sorry, this movie sucks
Good movie but grossly overrated
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I don't believe that no user at all has noted the obvious relation between Robert Harmon's HITCHER and this item of course made long before. I gues you have many gems of tis kind lost in distributors vaults and not necessarily released thu DVD. I won't add much but just enjoy...
Although I have seen and rated this before, I seem not to have put in my two penny's worth and can only wonder why I shied away from this before. Maybe I just forgot or maybe because of the grubbiness. In any event, supposed, 'guilty pleasure' or not, this is an exploitation classic par excellence. David Hess and Franco Nero compete for lead role and both are in devastating form. Corinne Clery who made Story of 'O' before this and Moonraker afterwards is also most effective and the poster alongside here at present illustrates one of her more iconic moments as she steps naked from the caravan armed and dangerous. The film is beautifully made with majestic visuals, great Morriconne score and for a film with so little actual story, completely captivating direction, helped enormously by good dialogue, gobbled up and spat out by true heroes of exploitation cinema. the film is so good that although ostensibly a road movie, it takes on a life its own and grabs you as it goes. Brutal, sexy, funny and strangely uplifting.
Not a bad little exploitation yarn. We have Hess from 'Last House' to spice it up, he always plays a great psycho. He almost verbatim repeats his character from "House on the Edge of the Park" but that's okay. We're not sick of it yet! In this new age of torture porn and despicably uncool modern horror, it's refreshing to see where these things came from. Here you go."Hitch-Hike" is a rip off of Mario Bava's classic road-horror, "Kidnapped," with a dash of "Last House on the Left" and sprinkle of "Race With The Devil" thrown in for good measure. While it is less entertaining and way less convincing than "Kidnapped," it still works as a fun little romp for those who are not schooled in Italian horror and exploitation. Seems that more folks are discovering Blue Underground nowadays and you vets will recognize that in reading the reviews on here. For those of us who've done the research, this obscure, newly released film does deliver on many levels but nothing we haven't seen before. Watch Franco Nero who rocks the house in what has to be the most despicable man ever portrayed in a film. No redeeming qualities to be found there. I thought he pulled it off wonderfully.There are many, many Italian exploitation/sleaze/horror films that you should have seen before this one if "Hitch-Hike" shocks you at all.Oh yea- the soundtrack is awesome.7 out of 10, kids.
I saw this on the shelves of a local record store today and noticed the Blue Underground logo so I picked it up. Upon further inspection, meaning I just read the box, I noticed that David Hess was the star so I just had to give it a shot. It was a very enjoyable movie that deserves to be recognized much more than it has. I had never even heard of it before today and it was so good that I wish I had so I could have enjoyed it sooner.David Hess is one of the kings of exploitation and he rules in this film as the hitchhiker that destroys a bickering couple's trip. The other actors weren't bad either. The story is great and even better than most exploitation films because it's very well thought out and has a lot of clever plot twists that you will never see coming. It also has great blood and gore. You won't want to miss it.Check this one out if you can find it. If you can't find it, sucks to be you!
