What Critics Say


There’s not a shred of originality to be seen in The Hitcher, but it’s still enough of an assault on two of the five senses to tide you over till the next horror remake.
Spill.com puts a whole new spin on the "classic" movie review; turning dorky and dry into hilarious and hip. Spill's reviews are high-quality animated videos featuring a regular cast of comic personalities.
