The acting wasn't great, but this movie had a lot of variety in shots and that's what leads me to believe that the editing team had the most control because they made sure the final product had the suspense it needed through editing. As for The Hitchhiker, I think the director had the most control over it. It was a very simple story, overall, but the acting is what elevates it and makes you wonder what happens next. I think the director carefully guided the actors and told them exactly how he wanted each moment. Overall, the movies were pretty good. They were so similar and so different at the same time and it was nice to see them back to back and compare them
