Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Lenzi isn't a refined moviemaker, happy to make something goofy as long as it's finished, and that's what happens here, gifting viewers a wild ride of the unsavory and the unintentionally hilarious. Rated: C Sep 6, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Zinjx W Ted Bundy light from horror master Umberto Lenzi. Fine performing by Josie Bissett known from Melrose Place in her acting debut. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It's trashy, it can be cheesy, but for fans of sleaze cinema, this one is pretty fun, with a great soundtrack and some hilarious over-the-top acting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/21 Full Review Audience Member So bad it was almost good. But then it just dragged on and on. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member As "brutal twink in a Winnebago" movies go...not so hot. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member The biggest thing this has going for it is the fact that Josie Bissett shows off some skin from time to time, but otherwise this is pretty average as far as any type of slasher goes. There are some glorious moments of Bissett's goofy boyfriend playing detective to find out who has kidnapped her, as he's quite the stereotype and fashion victim. Your villain isn't all that imposing in a pair of Ray Bans but it's still an amusing ride. Worth a rental. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Generally, I am a fan of Umberto Lenzi's sleazy-horror fests, but Hitcher in the Dark did little for me. In fact, I found it just plain boring. A typical kidnap/rape/murder film that never really does much to make its characters realistic or to make the acts believable. Ultimately, we are left with porno level characters and a plot that does almost nothing. Yes, it is sleazy, but that's about it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
