The Hitcher

3.5 G's out of 5. I thought it was a fairly good remake. It wasn't a shot for shot remake and it wasn't a complete reimaging of the story. It was what a remake should be-similar yet different. I think my favorite scene in the movie had to be the car chase. Why? b/c they used the song 'Closer to God' by NIN. The moment it started playing a huge smile came to my face, it just fit so well. I think by using this song I liked the film a lot more. Without it I may have given it a weaker rating. It was also interesting that they using a David Gray song in a horror film. The only real improvement from the original was the gore, especially one scene. In the original they completely cut away. In this one they show everything.
