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