Road Games
dir. Richard Franklin, Australia, 1981, 35mm, 101 mins,
color
Stacy Keach is Pat Quid, a lone trucker who plays games to keep
his sanity on longhauls through the desolate Outback. Jamie
Lee Curtis is a free-spirited hitchhiker looking for excitement
with a game of her own. And somewhere up ahead is a maniac in
a van whose game may be butchering young women along the highway.
Director Richard Franklin (Psycho II, Link)
packs plenty of Hitchcock-like twists and suspense into this
sly shocker that was nominated for four Australian Film Institute
Awards and remains one of the most surprising thrillers of the
'80s.
Patrick
dir. Richard Franklin, Australia, 1978, 35mm, 96 mins, color
After violently murdering his mother and her lover, Patrick
(Robert Thompson) lays comatose in a private hospital. When
a pretty young nurse (Susan Penhaligon) begins working at the
hospital, Patrick tries communicating with her, while others
in her life are being hurt and killed in mysterious ways.
