Hitch-Hikers

About This Movie

Hitch-Hikers is a curious little slice of life from the 1980s, set in the dust-blown roads of 1930s Mississippi. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as our traveling salesman encounters two hitch-hikers whose stories unfold slowly. The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid at times, allowing the audience to absorb the nuances of each character's plight. It grapples with themes of trust and the unpredictability of human connections. Performances are grounded, adding a rawness that makes you feel the weight of their circumstances. Practical effects are minimal, relying more on dialogue and those powerful, quiet moments that linger. It's distinctive in how it explores vulnerability, wrapped in a setting that feels both familiar and estranged.
