01
The Hitcher
Why this pick
Like Race with the Devil, it turns an ordinary road trip into a stripped-down, sun-baked survival chase, with an escalating sense that escape routes and helpful strangers cannot be trusted.

02
Road Games
Why this pick
Its isolated highways, watchful traveller, and playful-but-tense cat-and-mouse construction echo the original’s pleasure in making the open road feel exposed and unsafe.
03
The Car
Why this pick
A similarly lean 1970s supernatural thriller, using wide desert spaces and automotive menace to create an ominous, increasingly relentless pursuit.
04
Duel
Why this pick
This is an even more concentrated version of the highway paranoia: a motorist is pursued across barren roads by a hostile force whose motives remain unnervingly out of reach.
05
The Ritual
Why this pick
It replaces the RV and desert with a Scandinavian forest, but preserves the appeal of friends stranded beyond civilisation, mounting dread, and a menacing pagan presence.
