The Upside And Downside Of The Hitcher

The Review

On January 19, 2007 this film The Hitcher was released and Ronnie Scheib wrote his review on this movie the same day. He states in his review that this remake of the 1986 horror film failed to make itself was good but it lacked suspense and also personality among the actors.

Mind Altering Horror

There are different types of horror films that are out on the market these days. Some horror films have vampires, zombies and people with supernatural powers. The psychological horror movies seem to mess with the mind because they keep the audience guessing how the movie will end. A psychological thriller works on the imagination and not just the threat of physical danger.
Such movies as Seven, The Sixth Sense and Wait until Dark are just a few examples of a good psychological thriller.

The Article of Goofs
I didn’t realize that there were so many goof ups in this movie. Some mistakes are easy to see so quickly. Different movies have their share of goofs but The Hitcher had more than I expected.
One revealing mistake was when water was poured on the windshield of the car and water hit the camera lens. Also the wind shield in some scenes was slightly broken while at other times in the movie was completely shattered I will be looking out for all the different goofs next time I watch this movie.

In My Own Opinion

I really like to watch a wide variety of movies. This film might not have got the best of reviews but I still enjoyed it. A lot of remakes aren’t as good as the original but I enjoyed watching this action packed horror film.
