Pick Me Up
Written by David Schow
Directed by Larry Cohen ("It's Alive," "The Invaders")
Two urban legends collide on a desolate roadside when Wheeler, a
serial killer who slays hitchhikers, offers a ride to Walker, a
hitchhiker who slays any individual unlucky enough to offer him a
ride. Caught between these two bearers of death and destruction is
our heroine, a 25 year old woman who will need to choose her ally
carefully or become another bloody notch on a belt in this deadly
game of cat and mouse.
