Leave your thoughts about The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting.
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThe Hitcher 2: I've Been Waiting is less a sequel and more a remake, except with less style and inferior production values. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.I'd like to learn why anyone would bother making a lame sequel to a film that didn't need one in the first place. |

| User ReviewDouglas LSurprisingly decent sequel. Not nearly as good as the original or the remake, but still tense and enjoyable, with a solid climax. The three leads all do a decent job, I just wish C. Thomas Howell had been the protagonist. It would have made the move much more interesting. |
| User ReviewLayla WIt's an ok road movie slasher but not as good or intense as the first or the remake! |
| User ReviewCarl MIt has been 15 years, but Officer Jim Halsey hasn't forgotten the horrible events that he experienced as a teen out on that desolate stretch of highway in Texas. He decides to return with his wife to face down his own personal demons, only to find that the hitcher from his nightmares has been waiting for another ride... C. Thomas Howell returns as the paranoid Jim Halsey in this late sequel to the high-octane thriller THE HITCHER, although it is Kari Wuhrer who ultimately faces off with the demented killer. Jake Busey fills in for Rutger Hauer this round, who is a suitable choice for the villain (if not completely over-the-top). While the throwaway lines and dialog are all deeply embedded in genre cliches, the unexpected action sequences are fresh and unpredictable. They still have a very small feel to them as opposed to the explosive action of the first film, though director Louis Morneau does leave off with a dogfight between a crop duster and a tanker truck. As unnecessary and repetitive as THE HITCHER 2 may be, it still provides mild entertainment for the jaded viewer. |
| User ReviewDon SThe sequel to the 80's movie with Rutger Hauer as the baddie. C Thomas Howell again plays Jim, travelling the same stretch of highway and foolishly picking up another hitchhiker. Jake Busey is no Rutger Hauer, but he plays the role with relish. I never miss an opportunity to see Kari Wuhrer in action. Average thriller. |
| User ReviewSebastian HDecent, although it lacks the atmosphere and strong performances of the original movie. |
