The superficial take is pretending the hitcher was somehow a character written to show extraordinary abilities to only served the plot. But the logical approach is to think of him as some kind of supernatural, demonic entity from the desert with an origin and mission that is never explained (which is a good thing).

>>219327796>the fantastical is logicalYou're one of those?
>>219327844Maybe "logical" isn't the right word which is a contradiction to what followed in my sentence, that it was a some kind of a spectre and that's perfect.Believing he was just an obsessed psychopath would only leave you with a well-acted but poorly written bad character and script.
needs another remake
>>219329104I like the Sean beeeen one
>>219329175Better than the original?
>>219327796He was just determined to do what he loves.
>What is it?Doesn't matter, the movie is great no matter what you want to think of him as. >>219328055>poorly written bad characterWhy's that? There are plenty of instances in real life of unhinged psychos doing crazy shit just because they can. You don't need complex motives in your villain, sometimes it's just about the thrill of the kill.
