The stupid TV said I was watching the new one. It wasn't. *pouts*
However, I did like this version.
A young man is driving a car to San Diego to deliver, when he stops and picks up a hitchhiker (Rutger Hauer *drools*) who has already killed many people along the highway. Jim Halsey is able to get the man out of his car but the hitcher (John Ryder) continues to follow him leaving a blood trail behind them.
Ok, so that's the basics. Now, I did like this version, but there were things about it that I didn't like. First, the hitcher guy kept showing up in places that you have no idea how he got there. Such as when Jim and this girl he becomes acquainted with that is trying to help him spend the night in a motel. Jim is in the shower, the girl just trying to fall asleep and yet the guy suddenly shows up in the corner of the room. No open doors, no open windows, but he's there. How? And then at the end, after the police have captured the hitcher, nobody is able to find out his name from prints nothing, yet all of a sudden, Jim Halsey says, his name is John Ryder. Not once in the movie was this characters name mentioned, so I have to ask. How did Jim know his name was John Ryder. They never tell you and you're left going.... ok, so that's his name. Uhhh... info please.
If it weren't for problems like that, this would have been an excellent movie. I'm hoping when I see the new version... IF I ever see the new version *sighs* I will learn more about this.

Excuse me if im not allowed to reply here or anything, but isnt it supposed to be a scary or suspensfull movie? the same happens in halloween. How can a girl run for six blocks at full pace, and every time the camera shows michael myers he is walking.... then she turns a corner and get a knife in the gut. It doesnt have to make sense. its just gotta work. its like the directer flashing his hands right in your face and saying" SURPRISE!" and then is gone just like that. *Fails to snap a finger.... franticaly trying to snap* You er uh.... get the point... I think.
