    Beware the road, terror starts the moment you stop... for him...

    One of those films, that despite its simplicity, delivers exactly what is should.

    Credit has to go to Rui Constantino (the director) for managing to create thrills and tension, with such a basic plot, due in no small part to the very solid cast of Helder Santos and Miguel Branco, they deliver a brilliant performance.

    The score by Myuu is brilliant,eerie,intense and dark.

    The ending is powerful and one of the main reasons why i love this short so much.

    In final word, if you love Action-Thrillers,Horror Films,Road Movies,Road Thrillers or genre films in general,I highly suggest you see Um Dia Negro, an unforgettable movie that will stay with you after you watch it. Highly Recommended.

    A step above the thriller movie genre.

    I found this movie to be an excellent movie. If your looking for an edgy thriller. This is your movie. This movie literally keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout the whole movie. You never know what is going to happen next. You think you do, but something completely different occurs. Great actors, great story line.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the ending and the way this film turned out.

    7/10

    Incredible achievement

    It is unmatchable nightmare that has no equal in history of cinema. It handles the theme of wickedness in a form of road movie and horror movie and the result is a perfect piece of art. This movie should become a classic in every country, i'm hoping to buy it soon, the end scene between these two protagonists is very strong, if only this movie could have been more violent, i've checked all their movies on CFT channel, and i can notice the evolution of the director, he's making two, three films a year, and we are getting a sequel, i just hope it's true, because i've enjoyed this very much, and explore this world, even more, would be a great thing.

    A great movie for the paranoid who wish to feed their fantasies

    Never pick up a hitchhiker !!! Thrilling twists ahead !!!

    I have mixed feelings about the picture overall because there are a lot of good things about it. It's supposed to be suspenseful and it did shock me, especially the end, it's real crazy, and i've watched 3 times already. I felt tense throughout and admire the fact that this movie, is all about these guys that by destiny meet each other, and then, something happens...

    For me this is a journey into a living nightmare, the two actors are great, and will try to see more work of them in the future.

    Constantino Filmes are focusing on more films like this, which is good for us, hope they can maintain this degree of excellence.

    So don't pick up hitchhikers...

    Recommended for thriller fans.

    An intense, take on the 'The Hitcher' theme !

    I've watched this short movie, on CFT channel, A cat spends the day chasing a mouse. When he finally corners the mouse, he takes sadistic delight in batting it around. The director choose daylight to show us a new take on the hitcher theme, the setting is a forest, actor(Helder Santos) is like a vicious coyote, he starts the conversation, always looking at the young man, wanting to kill him, at every turn of the wheel, while the film isn't necessarily deep, the high-energy cast, and the forest settings twisty script fuel this effort for about 24 minutes, if this was a feature film, i would probably give 10 out of 10, but instead it got 7 out of 10.
