Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Aaron1375 "Tales from the Crypt" seemed like it was on longer, while this one to me seemed like it was on for only a brief amount of time in the 1980's. From the look of it, it had a rather nice run and for the most part it was an okay show. A bit more adult oriented than say a "Tales from the Darkside" this one was on HBO so there was quite a bit of nudity to be found. The episodes I am afraid though were not always that memorable, as I have a hard time remembering the plots to most of the ones I saw. I also seem to mix up shows from "Tales from the Crypt" with this one too. It did have a similar setup to that show, however, as each episode was introduced and then summed up by a sort of host...in this case the enigmatic hitchhiker character. However, it was unlike Tales in that the show was usually more suspense and thriller oriented rather than horror oriented like both crypt and the host of other weekly shows that tended to focus on creepy things. Still, I wish I could find this on DVD and watch them again and see them uncut as most of the episodes I saw were on USA.

preppy-3 Anthology series from HBO. Each episode started with a hitchhiker (a young hunky man) talking to the camera and introducing characters and tales. There were all horror stories which didn't shy away from nudity or explicit gore and violence.The first season was wretched. The stories were painfully obvious, the acting was terrible, there was non-existent production values and every episode had pointless female nudity--it seemed like a Playboy version of "The Twilight Zone". Only the hitcher himself made it OK. He was handsome and young. Things changed the second season. They got a new hitcher and went out of their way to show what a nice butt he had:) The female nudity was toned down. The stories got better, they got some top-rank film directors (Paul Verhoeven directed one) and even the acting improved. It ended up being a pretty good series. It's not for everybody and the first season was a wash-out. But if you're into horror stories this is for you. Recommended.

Victor Field When I was living in Barbados, CBC used to carry this anthology series in its late night (and by late, I mean around 10:30) Tuesday slot - they definitely didn't show all the episodes of this, or "Tales From The Darkside" (which replaced it). Not a patch on "The Twilight Zone," this anthology of tales about people who either got what they deserved or met their doom - and the two weren't always the same - was still effectively creepy, if a bit morbid, viewing.Some of the most notable tales topped and tailed by Page Fletcher's wandering man: a story with Michael O'Keefe's dog getting revenge on his enemies, and driving him to his death when his girlfriend told him he was his own worst enemy; a tale with a man who thought his girlfriend was an escaped mental patient, and ended up getting killed by the real loony; "One Last Prayer," with Lisa Blount as a singer who invented an image for herself that was guaranteed to succeed, but worked TOO well and ended up replacing the singer in real life; and an episode with Harry Hamlin as a developer under a curse, which stood out as one of the few stories with a happy ending.And yes, that music is very memorable. But Home Box Office's reputation was not built on this show.

Brian-272 "The, Hitchhiker" had it all mixed into every episode a little suspense, drama, terror, revenge, sex, and fun. This series always kept you on the edge of your seat you never knew what was going to happen, every episode was well written and the acting was clever the series featured many movie stars and stars of other series. I remember watching most of my episodes of "The, Hitchhiker" in the early 90's on the USA Network it became an every Friday and Saturday night thing with me that was to tune in and watch "The, Hitchhiker". I remember that HBO originally started this series in the mid 80's and it lasted until 1989. Each episode starts out with the eerie theme music which in my opinion was one of the best in TV history. Then Page Fletcher who was just great as the hitchhiker starts each episode off with an introduction speech and then summarized the story with a closing speech in the end. Each episode was full of mystery and suspense one of my favorite was "The, Legendary Billy B." with Kirstie Alley as a nosy reporter who gets what she deserves. Almost every episode featured beautiful women and it's bulk of sexy moments. My favorite and most remembered was "Videodate" with the hot and sexy Shannon Tweed. I miss this series so much I wish that some network would once again start showing reruns. To my knowledge no network shows "The, Hitchhiker" reruns, I was told that certain episodes are available on VHS volume tape I wish I could find the tapes or someone would let me know where I could find the tapes at. "The, Hitchhiker" was one of my favorite series of all-time I suggest you watch many episodes if you haven't, you will be glad you did.
