Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of Stephen King's 'Dollar Babies'—filmmakers can adapt select stories for just $1, making this a rare authorized micro-budget King adaptation.
The original story hinges on the hitch-hiker's muteness as divine intervention; the film's choice to make the priest equally ineffective suggests modern faith itself has gone silent.
