Daniel C. M A very unpredictable and brutal road thriller and exploitation film. Features nice performances, thrills, direction and a nice story overrall but with themes that lose themselves amidts it's plotline and are nowhere near as effective as the writer clearly wanted to be, which ends up being detrimental, as it makes the plot towards the 3rd act very convolutated, random and hastily slapped together. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review delysid d very EVIL vibe coming from this movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/18 Full Review Audience Member Cult film starring Franco Nero earned its status mostly due to co-star Corinne Clery in various states of undress. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review cory t If the casual observer mistook the luridly exploitative 'Hitch-Hike' for a spaghetti western, they wouldn't be too far afield due to Ennio Morricone's florid score that wouldn't be officious in a Sergio Leone film. Swigging off a bottle of booze and molesting his wife, Eve (Corinne Clery), after he remarks that she was in the sight of his sniper rifle minutes before, Franco Nero is downright deplorable as the loutish Walter Mancini and as the film continues on, he is not easily empathized with. In fact, he is such a philistine that he can hardly be categorized as the protagonist. Despite the fact that the audience is tipped off to David Hess' homicidal spree early when he turns off his car radio with a carcass in the passenger seat, he is so cordial and Franco is so brusque that we gravitate toward Hess. While the dubbing is occasionally desynchronized, the psychosexual subtext between the trio is riveting. Director Pasquale Festa Campanile doesn't skimp on the visceral killshots, the roadside murders of two police officers is truly sensationalized (An exit wound through a helmet is awfully gristly) At one point, a perverse symbiosis develops between Franco and Hess and a salacious 'Indecent Proposal' scenario arises for the "sex" quotient of Hess' autobiography. Priding itself with transparent Hitchcockian twists halfway through the runtime, 'Hitch-Hike' is a sadistic, sprawling rollercoaster with a somewhat sour aftertaste.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ouldskuulli grindhousetylytys toimii aina. Joo, olihan tässä vähän tyhjäkäyntiä ja joitain jaksoja on venytetty hieman liikaa, mutta ei välii kun Hess ja Nero ovat megessä.
