Title: The roads weren't safe back in the eighties
Review: There can be something almost magical over 80:ies movies. "Terminator" has it. Especially the ending with the desert road and synthersizer music. The same kind of magic is present in "The Hitcher".A young man is almost falling asleep on the road, early in the morning. He stops to take up a hitchhiker. From there on event follow upon event with nightmarish logic. Literally. (Maybe it all is a nightmare?) Great acting by the main characters. Actually very good acting throughout the film. And Hauer is cold as ice as the hitcher/madman.The fine synthetic music and beautiful nature pictures sets the mood. Add some action, and good dialogue scenes. This horror/action/thriller is not for all tastes, but it is very well done.
