Why watch?
“I enjoyed Game because it caught me off guard. I didn't know what I was going into, and it reminded me of the excitement of watching other British indies like Shallow Grave for the first time. It's a particular sort of thrill and one which, for me, always hits best in the cinema.”

Hyde Park Pick: Game
Late summer 1993. After stealing a stash of money and drugs, aging raver David (Marc Bessant) 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 (Jason 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, a tense and claustrophobic battle of wills, and wits, unfolds - where survival hinges on outlasting both the wilderness and the predator at its edge.
