The DVD says:

Whilst driving in heavy rain on a deserted road, Jim Halsey (C. Thomas Howell) pulls over to pick up a hitchhiker (Rutger Hauer). Halsey quickly regrets his decision to stop as the hitcher pulls a knife on him and nearly forces the car off the road. In a narrow escape Halsey manages to leave the hitcher behind on the road. However, his nightmare has only just begun as a terrifying and psychotic game of cat and mouse ensues with all who pass on the road becoming unwitting victims of The Hitcher.

My Opinion:

This classic shock thriller is a rollercoaster ride from the second that the hitcher appears on the screen. Rutger Hauer is fantastic as the psychopathic wanderer who kills for the fun of it and causes pain for the thrill. Backed up with an excellent script and direction this film is an all time classic. This 2 DVD special edition is laiden with extras and is a must for any collector.
