An Australian thriller that drums up suspense from its assured plotting and direction, and generates humor from its star's charismatic lead performance.

It's precisely its pretensions which make this a surprisingly agreeable cross of angst-ridden '70s road movie with Hitchcockian thriller.

It leaves its closest rivals standing with its deft handling of what is a basic B-movie formula. It isn't phony and it isn't ridiculous

10/10

Road Games is an intriguing, stylish thriller and heightens the paranoia that Keach's character feels, particularly in the verbal games that he plays with his passengers to pass the time.

4/5

A thoroughly terrific thriller with an especially offbeat, almost giddy sensibility.

Un sólido thriller de la ozploitation que no muchos amantes del género conocen pero que no tiene nada que envidiar a muchas otras películas de la época. De hecho, un momento en el que estaba de moda el slasher teenager, Road Games destaca por su excelente guión, su buena relación y montaje y por un Stacey Keach, que es capaz de soportar toda la trama no solo con un fantástico carisma, sino que una sólida interpretación. Recomandada sin duda a los amantes del género. Si tenéis ganas de escuchar un análisis en profundidad, escuchad nuestro episodio en ETNTP sobre la película: http://www.ivoox.com/podcast-terror-no-tiene-podcast_sq_f1254614_1.html
