Roadgames

About This Movie

Roadgames is a gritty slice of Australian horror that gets under your skin. You’ve got this truck driver, played by Stacey Keach, who’s got a knack for observation, which makes his character interesting. The tension builds as he becomes convinced that a neighboring driver is up to no good, targeting young women on the highway. The desolation of the Australian landscape adds a unique layer, making every moment feel isolated and eerie. The pacing is deliberate, slowly ratcheting up the suspense, and the practical effects, while not over-the-top, contribute to the chilling atmosphere. Plus, the performances, particularly from Keach and his co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, give it a real edge. It’s a distinct blend of mystery and thriller with a touch of horror that feels like a hidden gem.
