Deadly Games (Blu-ray)

Steve Railsback (famed for his unhinged performance as Charles Manson in 1976s TV mini-series Helter Skelter) is at his sinister best as a troubled Vietnam Vet in 1982s Deadly Games - a tale of madness, murder and adultery from writer/director Scott Mansfied. A masked maniac with a penchant for a horror-themed board game is playing his own twisted game with the women of a small American town.
