Pigeon Shrine FrightFest is pleased to announce the inclusion of the World Premiere Restoration screening of THE HITCHER, which replaces BAGMAN on the Friday night in the Main screen at 8.30pm.
Second Sight Films’ highly anticipated 4K remaster of Robert Harmon’s cult thriller is finally unleashed. No sooner does naive Jim Halsey pick up highway menace John Ryder, he’s stalked by the icy superpsycho and framed for his serial crimes. Waitress Nash tries to help the persecuted victim but the paranoid twists and mounting body count rev the shocks into high homicidal gear. Overseen and approved by the director, this stunning new 4K presentation is a revelation and will wow audiences with its incredibly rich detail and stunning colours. The wait is over, you’ve never seen THE HITCHER like this!
Director: Robert Harmon. With: C. Thomas Howell, Rutger Hauer, Jennnifer Jason Leigh, Jeffrey DeMunn. USA 1986. 98 mins.
Pigeon Shrine FrightFest 2024 runs from 22nd -26th August at The ODEON Luxe Leicester Square and The ODEON Luxe West End.
