Hitch Hike to Blu-ray with Kino Lorber and Raro!
David Hess, Franco Nero, and a naked chick with a high-powered weapon in her hand all in the same movie? It just seems so right, and that’s exactly what we’re gonna get when Hitch Hike makes its way to Blu-ray courtesy of Raro Video and Kino Lorber.
From the Press Release:
Raro Video and Kino Lorber are proud to announce the Blu-ray release of Hitch Hike, a controversial and rarely seen Italian exploitation thriller directed by Pasquale Festa Campanile starring Franco Nero (Django) and Corinne Clery (The Story of O) and featuring a music score by acclaimed composer Ennio Morricone (The Hateful Eight).
Raro Video brings this cult classic to Blu-ray complete, uncut, and uncensored in a new HD transfer. The Blu-ray will become available on February 16, 2016, with a SRP of $29.95, featuring a new and improved English subtitle translation and special features including a documentary, Road to Ruin (26:29), and a fully illustrated booklet about the film.
Synopsis:
While on a cross-country drive, a bitter writer (international superstar Franco Nero of Django) and his beautiful wife (Corinne Clery, The Story of O and Moonraker) pick up a stranded motorist (David Hess of Last House on the Left infamy). But when this hitcher turns out to be a depraved psychopath, their road trip takes a vicious detour into sex and savagery where the miles are marked in mayhem and vengeance is the ultimate rule of thumb.
Rarely seen in the U.S. (causing it to be named “one of the greatest films no one has ever seen,” IGN), Hitch Hike is a sleaze epic fueled by wild performances, scenes of shocking violence, and a visceral score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone. This RaroVideo release is completely uncut and uncensored and presents co-writer/director Pasquale Festa Campanile’s vision in all its shocking glory.
