Roadgames

In Richard Franklyn's Hitchcock-inspired suspense thriller, a trucker (Stacy Keach) picks up a hitchhiking heiress (Jamie Lee Curtis) and follows the trail of a serial killer.

Long-distance truck driver Patrick Quid is moving his cargo from Melbourne to Perth, over 2,000 miles to the west. On long, lonely stretches of road, on which one might encounter the same characters repeatedly, Quid becomes convinced that a serial killer is travelling alongside him. Director Richard Franklyn was a sincere student of Alfred Hitchcock, and here he refits the suspenseful paranoia of Rear Window to Australia's endless roads. This time the voyeur’s window is always in motion, never quite trusting what it sees.

“A terrific Hitchcock homage, but also a fun and unexpectedly playful thriller in its own right, with fantastic location photography.” – Tim Brayton, Alternate Ending
