Last Updated on August 2, 2021

So this is cool! Second Sight recently revealed on Twitter that the cult classic 1986 horror-thriller The Hitcher – written by Eric Red (Near Dark), directed by Robert Harmon, and starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh – will be getting a new Blu-ray release!

You can check out the tweet below:

We will be using the existing master taken from a print which is in the best condition we have seen. However, further restoration work is being done on the master to address several issues we can improve upon, including some image warping caused by rips/tears.

Looking forward to it! In the meantime, here's the official synopsis:

A young man who escapes the clutches of a murderous hitch-hiker is subsequently stalked by the hitcher and framed for his crimes.
