The Hitcher



The Hitcher (1986) - in which some nice guy, trying to do the right thing, pays the price for trusting literally anyone. So, C. Thomas Howell is this really normal, friendly guy, and he is driving home from college or something normal, and on a long, desert highway he picks up a middle aged white guy who is hitchhiking. This turns out to be a terrible mistake, as he begins to see what a creepy weirdo Rutger Hauer is, and he politely asks him to leave and tries to be on his way. Nope, Rutger Hauer murders literally the first family he meets who pick him up, and spends the next 24 hours framing nice C Thomas Howell for several murders and arsons, and making his life a terrifying nightmare. He's not being too careful, so he gets caught eventually, but he's done so much fucking damage, he seems pretty proud of himself and like he has fulfilled his mission. Its really rough.

Like, she has no sense of boundaries, and it seems like no one has ever told her "no," in her whole, beautiful life. So, Wesley, from The Princess Bride, I mean, Cary Elwes, is friendly and charming to her, and obviously flattered by the attention of a young woman. Oh, she's 14. Yeah. So, she gets obsessed with him, and he encourages this friendship by talking to her, inviting her in, spending time with her, and taking her suggestions, like...
