The Hitch-Hiker (1953)

A Dramatic Crime Thriller


A really good, dramatic, suspenseful crime-thriller. In a way, this film is comparable to the 1963 film The Sadist with a sadistic madman with a gun holding others hostage until he is finished dealing with them. But I have to say that both films are completely different from one another.

The Hitch-Hiker deals with a violent escaped convict that hitches a ride with two fisherman heading on their trip. Naturally he holds them hostage at gun point and taunts the two men and ends up forcing them to drive into Mexico. The police are after the escapee and has word in Mexico this man is dangerous and most likely armed. This is one long trip the two men will not forget for a very long time.

8.5/10
