Description

We've gone slightly more obscure this week, as Neal, Catherine and Ben take a look at the cult 1986 slasher-thriller The Hitcher - starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell and a very young Jennifer Jason Leigh - as three people caught in a vicious, cruel game of death and torture on a Texas Highway, climaxing with one of the great twists in 80s horror.



Then it's on to the Michael Bay-produced remake, starring One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush and - in the role of the psychopathic John Ryder - Sean Bean. Given that the original fllm didn't make much of a splash at the time, is this set to be a shot-for-shot remake cash grab, or will it forge its own path?
