Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
There's no estrogen whatsoever in The Hitch-Hiker, as spare and muscular a picture as the 1950s ever produced.

A lean, mean, nasty piece of work that deserves to be rediscovered.

Film Frenzy
This hell-for-leather 1953 noir demonstrates Ida Lupino's facility with actors and flawless pacing.

Talman's performance as a sadistic sleaze was powerful.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 4/5 --
Lupino draws a performance of crackling malevolence from William Talman, as the serial killer physically and mentally scarred by his abusive childhood. Equally authentic is the impotent terror of weekend fishermen Edmond O'Brien and Frank Lovejoy.

TV Guide
Product Description:
An acclaimed film noir thriller in which two vacationing men are held captive by a hitchhiking psychopath with one eye that never closes. Though years of more horrific violence and suspense have dulled its impact somewhat, it was way ahead of its time. Considered among Lupino's best work, this film was the progenitor of many, many films that would follow in its tire-treads and is a must-see.
