	Horrorfest Administrator Review
	This remake takes a classic suspense horror film and loads it up with more violence and gore than necessary.  Sean Bean was a good choice for his role, he just cannot beat out Rutger Hauer from the original 1986 version.  The original may be a little too simple, but this one is definitely too chaotic for its own good.

	Horrorfest Administrator Review
	Although there are some dated aspects, this great suspense thriller still holds strong.  Rutger Hauer really shines in this role and was a perfect choice for the hitchhiker.  C. Thomas Howell and Rutger Hauer also work well together to deliver an entertaining horror film.
