Hitcher in the Dark

 (Umberto Lenzi; 1989)

(Shriek Show)

 

-Overview-

A young man traveling the Virginia Beach coastline picks up hitchhiking women in his camper. He forces them to take on the role of his dead mother, and if they cannot, he tortures and rapes them.

 

Bleh. This one is really quite bad. The first 5 minutes have potential, then it goes downhill from there. The acting is atrocious and this has to contain some of the most poorly written dialogue ever. Hardly any gore, some lame T&A and the fact that the film is extremely boring make this one to avoid.

-Sound-

Poor sound quality. There is a lot of background noise in many scenes.

-Picture-

A decent print. Nothing special.
