A couple of college students are terrorised by a hitchhiker (Sean Bean) in his remake of the 1986 horror thriller starring Rutger Hauer.
Grace (Sophia Bush, John Tucker Must Die) and Jim (Zachary Knighton, The Prince and Me) are on their way to spring break in a 1970 Oldsmobile. Blissfully unaware of the horror that awaits them, they offer a ride to hitchhiker John Ryder, a killer who subsequently terrorises the couple and implicates them in a grisly slaying.

"Perhaps most unforgivably, pic lacks suspense. The action scenes are directed credibly enough, but the nail-biting buildups and awful aftermaths are laid out mechanically and drained of emotional effect."

Variety
Variety"Bloated, boring and over-explained."

Time Out
Time Out"That [original] film was intellectually engaging as well as tangibly creepy, while the new remake is just plain bad, and boring to boot."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"Probably the nerviest move on filmmaker Dave Meyers' part was to include a clip from Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, well demonstrating just how far we've descended when it comes to cinematic suspense."

Hollywood Reporter
Hollywood Reporter"There are several good jumps and scares, and it's surprisingly tense the whole way through, not just gory and cheesy."
