On a stormy night, young Jim, who transports a luxury car from Chicago to California to deliver it to its owner, feeling tired and sleepy, picks up a mysterious hitchhiker, who has appeared out of nowhere, thinking that a good conversation will help him not to fall asleep. He will have enough time to deeply regret such an unmeditated decision.

It's a good horror movie of 80's and it worths a watch.Plot isn't exactly normal in some points but overall it's good from the first minute since the last predictable scene.

It started off strong. Rutger is creepy and intense as John Ryder and I felt in for a treat. The problems start with the character of John who is more like the terminator than a human. He's somehow at the right place at the right second to kill as many as he wants and then seems to vanish. You d More
