The Hitcher
No film captured the nightmare scenario of what happens when you pick up the wrong hitchhiker better than Robert Harmon’s relentless, blood-soaked road terror, The Hitcher.

This exhilarating collaboration between Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino starts as a brutal crime thriller before detonating into full-blown horror carnage, as two outlaw brothers take a family hostage and head for the Mexican border.
George Clooney, Harvey Keitel, and Juliette Lewis must remove heads and stake hearts in order to stay alive when they stumble into a remote desert dive bar known as the Titty Twister and discover it is actually the apex of a hidden temple that worships a demented evil. As the true nature of the place is revealed and the walls themselves seem to close in, survival becomes a desperate, no-holds-barred fight against a fanged force of scantily clad strippers with a taste for human flesh. Cult cinema icons Cheech Marin, Tom Savini, Fred Williamson, and Danny Trejo round out the cast in this insane genre mash-up where hard-boiled crime collides headfirst with full-blown monster movie madness.
