This is a scary movie young people should'nt watch this movie. I think you should at least be 13 or 14 or even older to watch this movie. It does teach a lesson to not hitch hike or o talk to strangers, but there is a lot of violence. There is also a lot of bad words or causing going on. If your a parent who doesn't want there children to see this kind of stuff, then don't go to this movie! But do watch when your young to teach your child a lesson of life,

What Parents Need to Know
About The Hitcher (2007)
Parents need to know this remake of a 1986 horror film about a ruthless killer is violent and bloody from beginning to end. Bloody bodies, body parts, and splats of blood appear repeatedly. Weapons include knives, handguns, shotguns. Cars crash and flip over. Assaults are brutal and gratuitous (a rabbit is killed at start of movie, just because). There are images of gunshots to foreheads, and a stabbing victim lingers for some time, gasping and praying as his chest spurts blood. The goriest bits include a body ripped in half between two trucks (in the original movie, this was implied; here, it's shown) and a shotgun assault. Some fairly mild sexual scenes and strong language, including about 40 uses of "f--k," plus other profanity and sexual slang.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the characters change over the course of the movie -- particularly Grace. How does she become hardened by her experience with John Ryder? Families who've seen the original can also compare the two. What's different about this version? How do the changes reflect how media standards and culture has changed over the past 20 years? Why do you think they decided to remake this movie in the first place?

Another Physco Movie
The Hitcher, Another one of those physco movies going after a couple or people. It starts off with a couple going on a trip to somewhere (i forgot) and they decide to stop at a gas station, Blah Blah Blah. Then some guy ask for a ride... They give him a ride then he pulls a knife on the girl and goes crazy. Then they escape and the whole movie is the guy coming after them and killing people in the way. Its just that theres too many movies out there like this so i really cant get really into it. Theres one scene that really made me sick. I dont know its just another one of those physco movies i didnt care for.

Watch this if you love knifes!
This was a pretty good movie, I've seen better though. The acting was alright. The suspense was pretty good. There was some gore as described. There was lots of knife or gun wounding. I you want a mediocre scare and don't mind gore I'm sure you'll enjoy this movie.

It was extreamly boring.
I saw this movie with my cousin and my dad and the whole time I was in the theatre my cousin was complaining how boring it was. My dad looked like he fell asleep in there. I wanted to get out my seat.

I really liked it
I really liked this movie. It wasn't as bloody as I thought it would be. The scene where the guy gets ripped in half wasn't as graphic as I thought it would be. The scene is shot from afar and it is dark, so all I really saw was something ripping in half with stuff coming out. There was alot of language in it used, but I always hear it in school, so it wasn't a big deal for me. Sophia Bush did a great job in it.

Interestingly grotesque
There was probably more gore than needed to be. In general it was marketed towards the right age group and it was obvious from previews that it would not be suitable for children under 17.
