The DVD Buff

The Hitcher makes me wonder when Hollywood will learn

On Tuesday, the Hitcher will release on DVD. This movie looks like every other cheesy and lame hollywood horror film. The movie is about a couple that encounters a hitchhiker along their spring break trip. And well, I’m pretty sure you know how it turns out. The hitchhiker probably ends up killing everyone and blah blah blah the end. I’m sooo sick of these lame Hollywood movies that just suck; can they not come up with anything better than this? Let’s analyze why this movie is so bad.

First off, this film is directed by Dave Meyers. Who? Yeh that’s right THE Dave Meyers. He directed such music videos for artists such as Jennifer Lopez, Creed, and Britney Spears. So this is guy is fairly new to the movie scene, I’ll give him that. I’ll also cut him some slack because movies are hard as hell to make and bravo for him to do it. But, the cast is just horrendous. The two starring roles are filled by Sean Bean (Trevelyan in Goldeneye) and Sophia Bush (from One Tree Hill). That’s the best you could do? This is just too easy to pick apart. I’m going to save the rest of it to you. Check this movie out if you’re looking for a cheesy action-Hollywood horror film.
