Description
 
Stacy Keach (Fat City) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween) star in Richard Franklin’s 1981 Australian horror classic, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s Read Window. Keach plays Quid, an American trucker who, with the help of Curtis’s hitchhiker, tracks down a serial killer active on the long, empty roads of southern Australia. This deluxe, extras-laden edition boasts an all-new 2020 restoration from a 4K scan of the duplicate negative, produced exclusively for this release.

I sure have. It's a favourite of mine.

 

It's a cat-and-mouse game that takes place on the road in the vein of a Hitchcockian thriller that was actually filmed down here.
