Not much happening

To be honest almost nothing happens in this short movie, but with just $3k budged I shouldn't expect more. I liked the effect of the bullet shooting the locker - most movies wouldn't be able to make such practical effect under the same shot.

The movie could've had slightly more action and thrill considering the runtime. The Hitcher is a classic from start to finish and this is not even close to it.

I've watched it with the soundtrack removed due to avoiding copyright claims and it was really def. I don't think the first and last scene added much to the movie - probably just reflecting that life goes on as usual.
