"The late, great David Hess, star of THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, took on one of his most maddening roles in 1977’s seat-gripping shocker HITCH-HIKE. Picked up at the side of the road by a bickering couple, essayed by the iconic Franco Nero (DJANGO) and ex-Bond girl Corinne Cléry (MOONRAKER), the seemingly good-natured Hess soon returns to his familiar screen ways as a sexually-threatening psychopath.
