Rutger Hauer is so menacing as the title fiend that you'll never pick up a hitchhiker. An absolutely relentless horror-thriller.
August 30, 2009
Feature debuts don't come much better than director Robert Harmon and screenwriter Eric Red's sleek, dream-like thriller about a naïve college boy who crosses paths with devil in the flesh after taking a wrong turn on some lost highway.

Mr. Hauer, who has reportedly vowed not to play any more villains or crackpots, is probably making the right decision, if this is any measure of the sort of role that comes his way.

...essentially entertaining throughout...

I would have admired it more if it had found the courage to acknowledge the real relationship it was portraying between Howell and Rutger, but no: It prefers to disguise itself as a violent thriller, and on that level it is reprehensible.

An uncanny frisson, plus a road of endless curves
March 26, 2009
A highly unimaginative slasher that keeps the tension going with a massacre about every 15 minutes.
February 22, 2007
Without the original film's subtext of male bonding gone awry, nothing here has a shred of psychological resonance.
August 02, 2014
A cosmic horror film drawn out of a psychological thriller.

A partir de um conceito simples, o diretor cria tensão e transforma seu vilão (muito bem vivido por Hauer) em uma figura quase alegórica.

It's a highly competent sick-fright version of the evergreen chase formula.

Spare and engrossing original road slaughterfest.
