Road Games
When hitchhiker Jack rescues Véronique from a road rage altercation, the twosome decide to travel together for safety’s sake after learning a serial killer is cutting a murderous swathe through the region.

Why it matters
A slow-burning blend of road thriller and gothic horror that leans into atmospheric dread over cheap scares.
- Delivers a moody, claustrophobic vibe that recalls ’70s psych-thrillers more than modern slashers.
- A lean, tension-driven story that trades gore for sustained unease and creeping paranoia.
- Features strong performances from its leads, grounding the eerie setup in believable human anxiety.
- Ideal for fans of slow-burn suspense and isolated settings, where the real horror is what’s hinted at, not shown.
