THE
HITCH-HIKER (1953):
Ray (Edmond O'Brien) and Gilbert's (Frank Lovejoy)
fishing trip takes a terrifying turn when the hitchhiker (William
Talman) they pick up turns out to be a sociopath on the run from the
law. He's killed before, and he lets the two know that as soon as
they're no longer useful, he'll kill again. The two friends plot an
escape, but the hitchhiker's peculiar physical affliction, an eye that
never closes even when he sleeps, make it impossible for them to tell
when they can make a break for it.
Directed by Ida Lupino.
