Psychedelic survival thriller “GAME” is coming to theaters next month; trailer & poster

A couple of celebrated British musicians have key roles in this production.

Oscilloscope Laboratories has announced a December 4 U.S. theatrical release date for GAME, directed, co-written and edited by John Minton. Geoff Barrow of Portishead also co-scripted, produced (with Deborah Rawlings) and provided music for the movie, and Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods co-stars alongside Marc Bessant. The synopsis: “In late summer 1993, a tense and claustrophobic battle of wills and wits unfolds after aging raver David [Bessant] steals a stash of money and drugs, then crashes his car deep in the woods. Trapped in the wreckage, injured and helpless, he hangs suspended between life and death. When a mysterious poacher [Williamson] discovers him, no rescue comes—only a watchful, unsettling presence that seems intent on letting nature finish the job. As the hours stretch and the elements close in, survival hinges on outlasting both the wilderness and the predator at its edge.” Click here for a list of U.S. theaters that will be showing GAME.
