THIS MOVIE IS REALLY ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A TRUCKDRIVER AND A HITCHHIKER WHO LOVE KILLING PEOPLE.THEY'RE NOT FRIENDS,BUT WHEN THEY GET TOGETHER-THEY HAVE A BOND BECAUSE THEY TALK ABOUT THEIR KILLINGS THAT THEY DO.THEY EACH HAVE THEIR OWN METHOD OF KILLING PEOPLE.THE HITCHHIKER TORTURES ONE WOMAN IN A HOTEL ROOM TIL SHE DIES.FAIRUZA IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR.SHE'S THE NEXT VICTIM,BUT SHE HURRIES UP AND SNEAKS OUT.LATER-THE TRUCKDRIVER GOES LOOKING FOR HER BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE THE ONE TO KILL HER.HE PICKS HER UP.IT'S A REALLY GOOD MOVIE.IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN I CAN EXPLAIN ABOUT IT.

that old guy is one of those pricks that no one likes ... u just wanna punch him out being from NY i know a lot of guys like that ..... his younger partner looks like a guy looking for a cheap thrill but it had a good ending to it not predictable at all... from the other bad masters of horror films such as chocolate deer women sick girl and homecoming im going to give this 5 stars

Everybody's a movie critic, well, at least they try to be. This episode won't be picture of the year, but, with that aside, this episode was very good. Decent story with great special effects. Buy this, it is better than all these Amazon pretend critics say it is.

It was a pretty good movie. It being a masters of horror film, it was better than most that I've seen. I liked it.
Larry Cohen sneaks in a gem December 23, 2006
Joplin John
At first I was a bit disappointed to learn that Larry Cohen did not write his own episode of MOH; Cohen is a fantastic writer, and a tv veteran, so he could easily have come up with something wonderful. Then I read that David J. Schow was scripting from his own short story; interesting, but Schow's writing seems a bit more primal and more in line with a Tobe Hooper-like director. Well, I couldn't have been more wrong: the episode is a little gem, and definitely one of the best of the rather lukewarm series.
Michael Moriarty is hilarious, conjuring the spirit of Archie Bunker, as a whacked-out truck driver. I don't want to spoil anything for potential viewers, suffice to say that this is a suspenseful, and refreshingly literate little movie. It offers humor, horror, and suprises that keep it from being run of the mill tv fodder. Kudos to everyone involved. My only complaint is the ending: I know that it was meant to be a bizarre punchline, but for me it was just silly and pulled me right out of the story. What comes before that is alot of fun. Here's hoping Larry Cohen directs another movie, and soon. You can sample David J. Schow's writing in one of his many books.
