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.

Horrorfest Administrator Review
This is one of those movies categorized as horror but should actually be a crime drama.  There are some brutal and graphic scenes but very minimal.  On the whole, it was a good film to watch as the acting and suspense is quite intriguing that has ties to Jack The Ripper.
