Why does anyone like this movie? The heroine, Penny, is so pathetic and stupid that I was hoping that the hitchhiker would just kill her to make the movie decent. There are sooooo many things wrong with this movie!
1)Oh, we picked up a creepy hitchhiker in the middle of NOWHERE and he wants to be dropped off deep in the woods? SURE! We'll give you a ride! While we're driving you there, you won't speak a word to us but we'll volunteer our life history to you, including our deepest fear, just because why?!?!
2)We've just discovered that creepy hitchhiker pierced our tire and it is RAPIDLY losing air and we have a time limit to get back to the highway but Penny decides to be afraid of the car for that time. HMMM, a scary car that can CARRY YOU TO SAFETY or being stuck in the woods with some freak who just got you to drive into the middle of the woods and pierced your tire so that you would be stuck there? Did I mention that NOBODY KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE to come help you?!?!?! (Penny should have been punched in the face in this scene. I started hating her at this moment and she only got STUPIDER!!!!)
3)If you've been honking the horn of your car and screaming out the windows for help to no avail, but you suddenly hear the honking of another car,why do you only produce minimal efforts to get help NOW? Why do you scream only a couple times and then try to honk the horn and then sob in defeat? I had to watch you scream and pound the windows for five minutes for nothing, but when help is near your attempts to get help are meager? And why did the horn work SOOO well when your therapist's face fell on it, but all of a sudden you can't make it work at all?
4)When that guy came to help you, why did you guys try to unwedge the car instead of asking him to get a rock a break your windshield so you could get out?!?! AHHHHHHH! 5)I'm going to keep taking these pills because they "help" me, yet every time I take them, I pass out and when I wake up SOMETHING REALLY BAD ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME, Hmmm....I think I'll take more pills.
These are the biggest issues I had, and they're are not tiny details that I nitpicked, these are big scenes that are obvious to anyone watching. I should have left after the scene where Penny wouldn't get back in the car. The acting was good, but overall this was a stupid, stupid movie. See it at your own risk!
