The premise

A woman on the run from her abusive husband encounters a mysterious hitch-hiker.

Horror Vault's take

In the scorched wastelands of Namibia, a shape-shifting hitchhiker hunts the lost and the lonely — those with nothing left to live for. A woman fleeing a broken marriage crosses paths with this enigmatic, supernatural drifter, setting the stage for a cat-and-mouse pursuit steeped in ancient ritual and desert mysticism. Director Richard Stanley crafts a visually hypnotic nightmare where the landscape itself feels cursed, and the line between the human and the demonic blurs with every mile of empty road.
