Great horrors are a rare kind these past few years and great re-makes are even more rare.
This movie was already on a high horse when they casted brilliant Sean Bean for the role of "Jon Ritter or whoever he is". The story just kept getting better with a amazing, talented Sophia Bush signing up for the role of Grace Andrews. Zachary Knighton was solid but not even close to performances Bean and Bush delivered. The script had to be re-made almost completely and the solutions they came up with work well but still are pretty far from real. Another thing that is fairly surprising for this movie is a really good soundtrack. First scene even begins with All-American Rejects- Move Along which really pumps up the atmosphere of the beginning and enhances few comic reliefs in the first scenes.
One of the biggest let downs of the movie is length. Whole movie is about 85 minutes which pass very quickly.
One thing that is irreplaceable is the feeling at the ending, pretty similar to one you get when you finish watching Brad Pitt movie "Se7en". So intense feeling in your stomach and a big emotions that overwhelm your brain.
Watch this movie if not for the stunts, for 2 actors that gave their best performance that will surely establish The Hitcher as a movie of the new coming generation.
