   In Roadgames, Stacy Keach is driving a meat truck through Australia, shadowed or shadowing a creepy green van he believes is driven by a serial killer. Is it true, or a has lack of sleep turned one of his "road games" into a believable hallucination. Even we're not sure at times. With the help of his pet dingo and a hitchhiker played by Jamie Lee Curtis, he might get to the bottom of it. This is one of those Outback movies that make the place incredibly unfriendly, a trope I often find frustrating (not just for Australia, just generally), but it does contribute to the psychological horror of the piece, which is otherwise pretty tame. I enjoyed spending time on the road with these characters (dingo included), and if it has few proper chills, it works as a character-driven comedy about the kinds of things one does to keep oneself awake and entertained on the road. Boredom is the real horror. That's where your mind plays tricks on you. If they ARE tricks. 1 year 6 months ago

   Classic Aussie horror movie, with none other than Grant "Motherfucker" Page as the villain. Definitely needs more attention. 13 years 1 month ago
