I feel like playing games tonight, so let's start with the Roadgames..... Released in 1981 Roadgames is a horror/thriller which tells of a truckdriver, hitchhiker and a pet dingo working together to track down a serial killer who butchers woman and abandons their cut up bodies on the highways. At its time its was the most expensive Australian movie made. Directed by Richard Franklin who would go onto direct psycho 2. Roadgames is a surprisingly light thriller despite its darker premise I liked this movie, it was lighthearted thriller with interesting characters. Stacy Keach steals the show as Quid, the protagonist. He offers a lot of exposition and his dialogue is good and he carries the movie effortlessly. Co starring Jamie Lee Curtis as the hitchhiker. She is a good fit in the film, despite top billing she didn't have the largest part but chews the scenery when she does. I loved the imagery in the movie how the killers van seems to follow them as they hunt him There are lighthearted moments which bring almost a surreal comedy to the mix. This is a gory film or a total dark film. It keeps it light and the film works well as a good thriller I am giving it a 7.5/10 Viewer beware....... . Its a long road for a game ~mr hare #roadgames #roadgames1981 #horror #horrorfans #horrorfansworldwide #thriller #thrillermovie #Australian #australianhorror #trucker #stacykeach #jamieleecurtis #jamieleecurtisfilms #finalgirl #horrorjunkie #horrormad #review #moviereviewer #movie #1980shorror #richardfranklin #richardfranklinmovie https://www.instagram.com/p/CJt2N1KlG-0/?igshid=1ajdnsi555t54
