In the original Hitcher, poor schlub C. Thomas Howell found himself the victim of Rutger Hauer, possibly the most evil and invincible villain this side of the devil himself. In this criminally underseen straight-to-video sequel, Howell returns to protect his girlfriend (Kari Wuhrer) from a new unnaturally talented mass murderer, this time played by Jake Busey. It may have unexpected plot twists and an impressively over-the-top climax, but the film gets genuinely creepy when it implies that Busey and Hauer may be connected, or even somehow the same person, crafting an untold story that may be more unsettling than anything else on this list.
