Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

aldunisch Do this show, with a female with a cute butt and new stories.

soulexpress I've only seen 10 episodes of THE HITCHHIKER, but they were on a DVD anthology. So I'm guessing they represent the best that the show had to offer. If that's the case, then I would hate to see the worst episodes. THE HITCHHIKER was a smarmy, badly written TWILIGHT ZONE retread. It even took its name from a classic TZ episode. How could such swill have garnered multiple Emmy nominations? Payola?I assumed each episode would begin with the Hitchhiker (Page Fletcher) getting out of the car of that week's main character and delivering his narrative. But that was never the case. And his monochromatic, soundbite-length attempts at profundity always fell short, particularly if one compares him to THE TWILIGHT ZONE'S Rod Serling.THE HITCHHIKER focused on bad people getting their comeuppance, either by natural or supernatural means. Alas, the bad people in question are so one-dimensional, I didn't give a damn what happened to them one way or the other. The writing here is surprisingly weak for a show that lasted six years on a major cable network (HBO). While THE TWILIGHT ZONE frequently served up timeless morality plays, THE HITCHHIKER, in a fashion typical of the 1980s, offered style over substance. While it may have been a stepping stone for up-and-comers like Willem Dafoe, Helen Hunt and Kirstie Alley, it was a decided low point for established performers like Darren McGavin, Peter Coyote, Margot Kidder and Gary Busey.If you want an anthology series that appeals to the intellect and not the prurient interest, eschew this crap for THE TWILIGHT ZONE or THE OUTER LIMITS.

preppy-3 Anthology series from HBO. Each episode started with a hitchhiker (a young hunky man) talking to the camera and introducing characters and tales. There were all horror stories which didn't shy away from nudity or explicit gore and violence.The first season was wretched. The stories were painfully obvious, the acting was terrible, there was non-existent production values and every episode had pointless female nudity--it seemed like a Playboy version of "The Twilight Zone". Only the hitcher himself made it OK. He was handsome and young. Things changed the second season. They got a new hitcher and went out of their way to show what a nice butt he had:) The female nudity was toned down. The stories got better, they got some top-rank film directors (Paul Verhoeven directed one) and even the acting improved. It ended up being a pretty good series. It's not for everybody and the first season was a wash-out. But if you're into horror stories this is for you. Recommended.

owenmoney To get right down to it, this show makes Tales From the Crypt look like a Disney series. The main character almost always dies. It is hilarious to see them so arrogant and ignorant in the beginning and then have all of this horrible stuff eventually happen to them. Some of the episodes are a bit corny, but they are so in that bizarre, remote 80's way. I remember watching the re-runs on USA when I was in grade school (that song gave me nightmares), and those showings were edited. The unedited episodes are the real deal, but unfortunately only a few are for sale on VHS and they are no longer shown on any HBO channel. A DVD with ten episodes is due in March 2004, but with only ten episodes. If you are an enthusiast of the series, buy the DVD and maybe there will more to come.
