Watch: The Hitch-Hiker 1953 123movies, Full Movie Online – Two friends on a fishing trip pick up a stranded motorist who turns out to be a psychopathic escaped convict. This sociopath has already murdered other good Samaritans in his efforts to evade authorities. He sadistically taunts and threatens the two men and perversely delights in telling them that he has them both marked for death sometime before the end of the trip. His destination is a ferryboat in Baja, California, which he hopes will help him get to the mainland. The hostages hope to stay alive long enough to escape or be rescued by Mexican authorities..
Plot: Roy and Gilbert’s fishing trip takes a terrifying turn when the hitchhiker they pick up turns out to be a sociopath on the run from the law. He’s killed before, and he lets the two know that as soon as they’re no longer useful, he’ll kill again. The two friends plot an escape, but the hitchhiker’s peculiar physical affliction, an eye that never closes even when he sleeps, makes it impossible for them to tell when they can make a break for it.

Forget The Hitcher…
…THE HITCH-HIKER is the original, ’50s-made hitchhiking nightmare film. It’s a straightforward three-hander in which a couple of buddies (Edmond O’Brien and Frank Lovejoy) are accosted by a manic serial killer (William Talman), who forces them to drive him to Mexico in order for him to escape the authorities.

This is a low budget, black and white suspense thriller that has more tension in it than a dozen recent movies. The low budget works in its favour, with tight camera angles making for a claustrophobic viewing experience. Actress Ida Lupino certainly knows what she’s doing behind the camera as she rarely puts a foot wrong here: the pacing is exact and the performances are excellent.

While O’Brien and Lovejoy ground the movie playing the two protagonists, but in reality this is Talman’s turn. He gives a pitch perfect turn as the creepy villain, one that would pave the way for later screen psychos like Robert Mitchum’s character in NIGHT OF THE HUNTER. Talman’s acting is the stuff of brilliance, and he alone makes the film worth watching. The rest of it is the icing on the cake.
