'Road Games' (1981) – Richard Franklin.

'Young, pretty, carefree hitch-hiker Pamela (Jamie Lee Curtis) was out on the road looking for kicks, and it was a pretty sweet ride...until she got picked up by a total trucking nutcase!' Richard Franklin's playful, tantalizingly twisted, garotte-tight, turbocharged Aussie road thriller doesn't take his foot off the gas right until the exhilarating climax! The consistently intriguing narrative is brought to vivid wide-scream life with engagingly naturalistic performances by Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis, with legendary stuntman Grant Page making for a monstrous, meticulously maiden mutilating maniac! With ace composer Brian May's rousing score and stylish lensing by Vincent Monton, this intelligent, deliciously quirky 80s serial killer chiller glistens ever more provocatively on this immaculate-looking 'Indicator' Blu-ray transfer! Like Hitchcock on speed, Richard Franklin's shock-accelerated 'Road Games' deliriously delivers the meaty goods!
