Road Games Blu-ray Release Detailed

Australian label Umbrella Entertainment has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of director Richard Franklin's thriller Road Games (1981), starring Stacy Keach, Jamie Lee Curtis, Marion Edward, Grant Page, and Robert Thompson. The release, which will be sourced from a brand new 4K master, will be available for purchase on July 6.

Synopsis: Stacy Keach is Pat Quid, a lone trucker who plays games to keep his sanity on long hauls 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. But when the killer decides to raise the stakes, Quid's game becomes personal...and the rules of this road are about to take some very deadly turns.

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.
