Today we posted Loomis7's review for Rogue Pictures' The Hitcher remake, which is now in theaters everywhere. From filmmaker Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes production company (producers of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Amityville Horror) comes The Hitcher, an update of the 1986 film of the same name. Dave Meyers makes his feature directorial debut on the new thriller, which tracks the terrifying trajectory of Grace Andrews (Sophia Bush) and Jim Halsey (Zachary Knighton), a collegiate couple who are tormented by the mysterious hitchhiker John Ryder, a.k.a. The Hitcher (Sean Bean).
Isn't the plot almost the same as "The Hitcher II:I've Been Waiting"? Sure, that one had the original movie as background, but it follows the same girlfriend-as-hero(ine) formula. Plus, it also sucked.
