(It's a Richard Thompson song. Recent-ish, not vintage.)

A veritable slugfest this week, with Roadgames (or is it Road Games? I'll have to decide soon; seems to have been released both with a space and without, in different territories) nabbing 51% opposite the more seasonal I Walked With a Zombie. Never seen it, don't know a thing about it. My sole experience with director Richard Franklin seems to be the 1984 kiddie thriller Cloak & Dagger, which I saw well over 30 years ago. (Adapted from a Cornell Woolrich story, I now observe, so maybe it's less juvenile than I dimly recall.) Conveniently and I believe newly streaming on the Criterion Channel, which perhaps is what brought it to mind as a request.  

Finally watched The War Game last night (not yet logged on my site as I post this), and I've got How to Steal a Million penciled in for early next week. And then I'll truly be caught up on all outstanding requests. Though just in time for the next random drawing...

Richard Franklin is pretty terrific!

Woohoo! I believe this is my first film request to win in its first week. I just saw it for the first time last week and was rather blown away. I guess calling it a horror film is debatable but I'd say it's a least horror-ish (and the Criterion Channel *does* have it in its 80s Horror Collection). Hope you like it as much as I did!
