The Name of the Game Is Kill! (1968)



Fanfare Films
Directed by Gunnar Hellstrom
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, VCI Entertainment)

Jack Lord plays a Hungarian drifter in the California desert. He stumbles on an isolated gas station run by Susan Strasberg and her sisters and mother. Lord accepts an invitation to dinner and is gradually pulled into the dysfunctional family. There is a big plot twist towards the end that you will spot a mile away. The Electric Prunes play on the soundtrack. Jack Lord's accent is incredibly phony and distracting. Disappointing.
