Listen to your parents when they say not to talk to strangers...College students and boyfriend-girlfriend Jim and Grace are on their way to their spring break vacation as they travel through the New Mexico desert one rainy night. They stumble upon a hitch-hiker in need of a lift, and decide to be kind and offer him one.
On the car ride, the hitch-hiker - John Ryder – proves himself to be a complete psycho when he threatens the couple with his knife. Somehow through the struggle Jim manages to throw psychotic John out of the car.
The next morning, as the couple is continuing on their journey, they see a young family about to pick up the hitcher in their car. Jim and Grace know that they cannot leave the family with him, and they do their best to warn them. During their efforts, they get into a car accident. As they try to recover, the walk back up to the car to find the family in the car stabbed to death.
John is still alive and on the hunt, and he wants the couple. What started off as a teen movie with a fun couple on their way to spring break, turns into a bloody game of cat and mouse that offers little scenes of relief for the audience.
I was on the edge of my seat for pretty well the majority of the movie. There are a fair share of gory scenes that are quite disturbing, so I strongly advise the younger crowd to stay away from this film.
It's hard to believe there are people out there that are that psychotic, that smart, and that skilled in the ability to kill others. It's very frightening, and the villain in this – John (played by Sean Bean) – is brilliant and the main source of entertainment for the whole film. It definitely isn't the best thriller / horror film I have ever seen, but it was very entertaining so I will still recommend it.
