Hitchhike to Hell

I'm loving the classic 70's/80's Grindhouse type horror films, getting re-released these days.  I recently checked out one called Hitchhike to Hell courtesy of Arrow Films.  Arrow has a knack for finding some lost gems, and more obscure films from 30 to 40 years ago and giving them a second chance.  Thanks Arrow!  That said, Hitchhike to Hell is the classic story of a Mamma's boy/Homicidal Maniac.  Sounds like a nice guys doesn't it? 

Hitchhike centers around Howard, who is a dry cleaning delivery guy with serious mother issues, and an appetite for hitchhikers.  Sounds creepy doesn't it?  Long story short, if Howard picks up a hitchhiker, that has left home, due to issues with his/her mother, then it's lights out for the hitchhiker.  This one was fun, full of bad acting and cheesy special effects.  This one definitely goes in the B/cult classic category for me.

Bottom Line: If you're looking for a creepy/campy horror film, then Hitchhike is your movie.  It is comical at times, even though I believe it is supposed to be serious, which makes it more funny.  This one is light and fun.

-Ragman was hoping for a little more, but thinks he'll come to enjoy this one more in time, especially after a few beers.
