Just watched Road Games. It is a good mystery thriller set on a desolate Australian Highway. It´s very Hitchc0ck, Rear Window on the road, like they say.
Directed by Richard Franklin (Patrick, Psycho II, Cloak & Dagger etc.) and starring Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Keach is very good, i love the way he talks to himself and to his pet dingo while driving. Curtis is good but her part is not that big.
I love the australian landscapes, the atmosphere, the camera work and the roadhouse they visit includes cool Playboy pinball machine.
The OOP Anchor Bay dvd includes also interesting featurette, audio commentary and some other goodies. It´s not a horror movie, i don´t remember seeing much blood but suspense flick lovers should check it out!

I've always liked director Richard Franklin's stuff: "Road Games," "Patrick," and "Psycho II," though "Cloak and Dagger" and "F/X 2," not so much.
