Decemberdike # 22 Hitcher in the Dark (1989)
Josie Bissett plays a hitch hiker who gets a ride in the RV of mother fixated Joe Balogh and ends up his prisoner in this travelogue of the US state of Virginia.
Bang average psycho thriller (see what i did there - mother fixated, psycho...oh never mind. The puns are as bad as the film) from Umberto Lenzi in which bugger all happens because when there's mainly only two people and they are stuck in a motor home all film what exactly can be done. Sure Balogh trims Bissett's hair to make her look even more like mother and rapes her, certainly it's a bit sleazy but far too tedious to be shocking.
I've seen some good films this Decemberdike horror fest. This wasn't one of them.
Go watch Campanile's Hitch-Hike for a proper spaghetti thriller about hitch-hiking.
