Synopsis:

Franco Nero (Django, Force 10 from Navarone), Corinne Cléry (Plot of Fear), and David Hess (The Last House on the Left) star in Hitch-Hike (Autostop rosso sangue), a shocking tale of kidnapping and greed.

En route to Los Angeles, Walter (Nero) and Eve (Cléry) pick up a hitchhiker, Konitz (Hess). However, it soon emerges that Konitz is an escaped psychopath, who forces the couple to head to Mexico, leaving a trail of corpses in their wake...

An excursion into the thriller genre by commedia all’italiana specialist Pasquale Festa Campanile (The Libertine), scored by the great Ennio Morricone (The Big Gundown, Wolf), Hitch-Hike is a tense and twisting tale, shot through with jet-black humour.
