I love this movie. In my top 10 favorite movies from all time whatever the genres. I have the dutch dvd collector edition but your edition is much ....much better. Yes indeed the cinematography is gorgeous , stunning.
Agree, Howell was good here. Strange how his career kind of died after this point The Outsiders is pure greatness. They really don’t make them like that anymore
Great review, Justin. I’ve loved this movie since I first saw it. It has inspired me visually for many years. Proud of Aussie DP John Seale, who always brings the goods. Loved your review. See you soon, mate.
1000% agree with everything you said! Release of the year! Masterpiece in every way. The transfer is near perfect. SecondSight had us waiting FOREVER but it was WORTH the wait:) Well done by all involved.
Apparently the original score materials don't exist any more, a soundtrack was released years ago but it's in very rough shape. I'm think Second Sight would catch flak if they included it.
RH plays the antagonist perfectly. There's no villain tropes at all. He's simply doing what he does best. He's cold, emotionless, focused and calculated. As you said, RH didn't think he was the bad guy, he played him as a man with one sole focus, to create havoc and terror without batting an eyelid. Also, didn't Ebert backtrack on his original review? I may be remembering wrong but I'm sure he'd mentioned that he'd found a new appreciation for the movie (if I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me).
The Hitcher is fantastic. I watch it a few times a year. Hauer was perfectly cast and I love that we never really understand his motive . He’s a creepy ass dude in this one
I'm happy with the umbrella limited edition Blu-ray that came out earlier this year, but the second sight release looks great, and I'm sure the 4k is fantastic.
For $60 from Diabolik I honestly thought I underpaid cuz this set is just ridiculous! The most PERFECT 4K release of 2024 and everything I always wanted ever since I was a kid who "accidentally" caught this on HBO waaaaay past my bedtime! 😂 11 outta 10!
some people are complaining about the new art work for the release because its not the original art work with the pair of eyes staring back at you in the rear view mirror I love the new art work and the eyes don't even belong to C thomas howell.
I love this movie. I feel torn between loving the little imperfections in watching classic films or the beauty of 4k. I tend to like the gritty looking films. Do you like 4k with all your films, or do you like some of them to look kinda grainy and flawed? Just curious. 🤘
I thought I would have that issue with a 4K of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I didn't want to see that movie looking pristine. I liked the grain and the flaws! But seeing it in 4K is incredible!
Suddenly craving French fries.

This one of the rare times that SS put the Blu-ray in an all region format.
A masterpiece, eric red was on a roll with this near dark and cohen and tate.
Aww man! The Hitcher (our Rutger) the first film my late mother and late father played on their vcr , holds happy memories for me. Thanks Piz ❤🎃.
My favorite C Thomas Howell performance other than The Outsiders and Soul Man.
Agree, Howell was good here. Strange how his career kind of died after this point
The Outsiders is pure greatness. They really don’t make them like that anymore
Release of the year
It's way up there for me!
Awesome job on the review. Glad to have this in my collection.
Thanks, Matt!
This is an amazing edition, everything about it is beautiful
💯❗️❗️
There should have been an Easter egg hidden on this of the Siskel & Ebert review 😄
Good idea! Heck, maybe it it is!
@@pizowell I'm gonna thoroughly check both discs and find out!

Ah, I didn't know. Such a shame about the materials.
The Perfect Release of The Hitcher hands down. So glad I waited though the Umbrella release was tempting.
I like The Hitcher but I've always considered it more as a thriller. Good review and cool video Pizow👉🏼🙂👈
Couldn't agree more Piz. I had the set on order for ages, but boy was it worth it. A gorgeous release for a stunning movie.
💯❗️ Thanks for watching!
Nicely done! I got this bad boy a few days ago and it’s my favorite release of the year! That scene with the semi is both chilling and nerve racking!
Absolutely!
I just ordered yesterday! Certainly looking forward to it!

I don't think Ebert backtracked on that review. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
The Hitcher is fantastic. I watch it a few times a year.

Great video! This an awesome edition for an awesome movie!
Great review thanks!
Thanks for watching!

Just got my limited edition 😎😎💯💯
Enjoy! It's one of my favorite releases of this year!

Worth every penny!

The artwork here is great. Granted, the original is classic, but it's such a minor complaint for such an outstanding release.
Second Sight never used the original artwork so not sure why those people are complaining. And most boutique labels do the same.
Awesome underrated movie, I felt love it watch so many times, it was best original one of all time.
A classic one!
Great film
When I think of Rutger Hauer I think of NightHawks. Classic Sly
NightHawks is a good one!
Great review. Its my release of the year.
Same here!
Excellent review..i just went with the standard release to save a little money...
Thanks for watching!
Pouring out a lil something for my fellow peeps that watched hitcher two too. It’s… it’s.. a shame lol
At least I was smart enough to skip the remake.
