    Where to Watch

While driving through the New Mexico Desert during a rainy night, the college students Jim Halsey and his girlfriend Grace Andrews give a ride to the hitchhiker John Ryder. While in their car, the stranger proves to be a psychopath threatening the young couple with a knife, but Jim succeeds to throw him out of the car on the road. On the next morning, the young couple sees John in another car with a family, and while trying to advise the driver that the man is dangerous, they have an accident. While walking on the road, they find the whole family stabbed in the car, and John sees that the driver is still alive. He drives to a restaurant seeking for help, but the police blame Jim and Grace to the murder and send them to the police station. However, John kills the policemen and pursues the couple, playing a tragic and violent mouse and cat game with Grace and Jim.

One Tree Hill Hottie Takes The Hitcher for a Ride

Teen romances torn asunder, slipping grades, backstabbing BFFs... One Tree Hill's Brooke may think she has had it rough, but what Sophia Bush endures in this year's chilling remake of The Hitcher (now out on DVD) puts such piddly probs to shame. Upon making the worst mistake ever — giving Sean Bean's grubby, stubbly ride-thumber a lift — Bush and on-screen beau Zachary Knighton are taken for the ride of their seemingly short-lived lives.

One Tree Hill Hottie Takes The Hitcher for a Ride

Short Cuts: Mean Girls, Pussycat Dolls and More

Sophia Bush's underrated The Hitcher remake — and I say that even though she dissed me on a Q&A — arrives on DVD May 1.... Ghost: Special Collector's Edition is now out on DVD.... Mean Girls: The E! True Hollywood Story premieres March 17 at 6 pm/ET.... Best TV capsule review I've seen in ages: "9 pm, CW: The Search for the Next Doll: The girls are dropped off at Hollywood and Vine, and the one who returns with the least money after two hours is removed from competition. Just kidding." Props to the New York Daily News' David Bianculli.... If in your lifetime you read only one pithy retort from me, make sure that it's the one found here. I feel very strongly about it.
