The Hitcher is well...worth driving right on by

Movie Title: The Hitcher
Reason I went to it: Sounded interesting, the original was decent. Needed a date movie.
Final Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars

With this movie I have been convinced that Hollywood is getting to the bottom of the barrel when it comes to remaking old horror movies. Granted the original was in 1986 and thus "old" is relative, but can no one think of an original concept anymore? I'm coming to the belief that the world will end once they remake E.T. and instead of trying to get back to his original planet, it will be trying to cross the Canadian border without a passport. Wow, just wait for the drama to unfold. Bill Paxton, your agent will be calling soon as I know that movie is right up your alley...the alley of crap I mean.

Back to this waste of $8. It's not that the movie is unbelievable...oh wait it is. Not only do you have to leave logic outside the theater in order to enjoy this movie, you'll be wishing you left yourself outside of the theater by the end of it as well...because you simply can't enjoy it, or at least I couldn't find a way...and I have an empty container of vodka to support my claim!

Gone are the days that horror movies had any sort of plot at all. The only thing that horror movie directors can throw at us now is "Shock and awe". Wow, sounds like a war preamble doesn't it? And we all know how that is turning out. There were two times in this movie that I actually thought it could get interesting, and then those people were slaughtered killing all hope I had. The words "OH COME ON" kept coming to mind as time after time an old Sean Bean becomes an invincible energizer bunny that kills at random and terrorizes a young college couple, that...well sorry...are so stupid that you really begin rooting for Sean. I was like...yeah, pull the stupid guy apart, don't shoot poor Sean before I realized what I was saying.

I'd add more, but I'm too pissed that I wasted decent porn buying money on this crap.
