As sequences go this was noy bad. Same type of story, same menace, just probably not as sharp as the first, but this Hitcher is just as menancing as Rutger Hauer was in the first movie.

I'd always rated the original very highly and still do - but I'd forgotten just how good it really was ( even if poor old Jim and the Captain bite the bullet in it ) and also what a good role Gary Busey plays. As sequels go , I personally rate this one as excellent. Now takes pride of place in my ever growing "Classic" DVD collection. Priced very competitively and so I couldn't refuse. Barcaal
The original Hitcher movie also starring C.Thomas Howell was excellent,and Rutger Hauer as the "Hitcher" was great in a menacing way.This retread set many years later finds Howell's charactor still getting flashbacks to experiences in the original film where he was all but murdered by The Hitcher. So ofcourse, he decides to take his girlfriend back to the highway that he was originally attacked on,and Yes he just happens to pick up a Hitch hiker(Would you?) who turns out to be the Hitcher's son(Gary Busey)which is just a coincidence!. It all ends very bloodily as you can emagine but this is a sequel that definately wasn't necessary,but who's going to bet that some filmmaker won't dream up a reason to produce "The Hitcher 3"?.If this is the case I for one definately will not be dashing out to watch that!.Read full review
very good film bought it because got hitcher 1 aswell and wanted to see the second really enjoyed suspence and action
