The Hitcher in 4K To Replace Bagman At FrightFest 2024
Pigeon Shrine FrightFest have announced Colm McCarthy‘s Bagman is set to be replaced by the restored version of The Hitcher in 4K.
It was only last week the dark heart of cinema announced Bagman filled the empty gap of this years festival. Unfortunately due to circumstance beyond their control Lionsgate Films have pulled the film which is due for UK cinema release in September.
Robert Harmon‘s 1986 film is considered a classic film in the genre. Second Sight Films have for the past few years attempting to restore this film, however many problems have prevented this getting released. Thankfully that release will be happening sooner than later and Pigeon Shrine FrightFest looks the prefect place to premiere.

Second Sight Films’ highly anticipated 4K remaster of Robert Harmon’s cult thriller is finally unleashed. No sooner does naïve Jim Halsey pick up highway menace John Ryder, he’s stalked by the icy superpsycho and framed for his serial crimes.

The wait is over, you’ve never seen THE HITCHER like this!
