Going on a summer road trip? Nothing feels as vulnerable as being in a vehicle sometimes in remote areas and susceptible to strangers, weather, and breakdowns. Here's the best of the terrorized-on-the-road movies.
The Hitcher - a young man drives a car across country and makes the mistake of picking up a hitchhiker.
Duel - an uptight businessman on the road is antagonized by a trucker.
Joy Ride - brothers and a friend drive home from college, but get involved in a killer trucker's mind games and murder.
The Hills Have Eyes - a family takes a road trip with the RV, break down in the desert where some very creepy people live.
The Car - a black car with dark windows and no apparent driver torments a southwest town.
Breakdown - Fantastically manical movie about a husband who loses his wife to a crazy trucker when their car breaks down.
Night Terror - Valerie Harper, a mother alone on the road is tormented.
Wrong Turn - Youths on a road trip crash and look for help, only to be chased and murdered by seriously inbred rednecks.

ReplyDeleteI think Duel was the most frightening film ever especially if youre ever been on our M62 Motorway (UK) on a Friday teatime, where tailgating is a truckers sport
ReplyDeleteMany of the back roads and small highways in AZ have that "Hills have eyes" feel to them.....very creepy!
