Mind Games (1989)

Trapped in an unhappy marriage, Dana Lund (Edward Albert: Galaxy of Terror) and his wife, Rita (Shawn Weatherly: Baywatch), try to breathe new life into their relationship by taking a trip through northern California with their 10-year-old son, Kevin (Matt Norero: Roseanne). Along the way, they pick up Eric (Maxwell Caufield), an amiable hitchhiker who’s a psychology student. But Eric’s charm masks the fact that he is psychotic. Sensing the Lund’s vulnerability, he decides to take control of the family, then destroy it through deceit and emotional manipulation.

They begin to fight back in a desperate attempt to save themselves from Eric’s madness and perverse Mind Games.
