Curiosità

Night Game is a 1989 American slasher film directed by Peter Masterson and starring Roy Scheider, Lane Smith, Karen Young, and Richard Bradford. It follows a police detective attempting to stop a hook-handed serial killer whose murders coincide with nighttime baseball games at the Houston Astrodome.

Production

Night Game was George Litto's second film in a five-film, two-year, deal with Trans World Entertainment, following Kansas (1988).

Night Game was filmed entirely in Galveston and Houston and features such landmarks as the Galveston Seawall, Galveston Cotton Exchange (which is seen as the fictional Galveston Police headquarters), the San Luis Hotel, the Balinese Room (where Epps is killed), Galveston County Daily News compound (including some of the police station scenes depicting the detective office space), the former Broadway Theater, and the Gulf Freeway.

The movie was covered in the July 1989 Houston Astros program on pages 58 and 59. An author is not listed:

Glenn Davis has proven repeatedly that he has a flair for the dramatic. With his consistent game-winning RBIs, one might say he almost performs on cue. And in August, he will prove it again, not only to Astros fans, but across America, when he belts a homer in the upcoming movie, Night Game. Parts of the movie were filmed in the Astrodome last year and director Peter Masterson says Davis proved to be the man he needed for a tricky plot twist.

Night Game was the first movie in years to be filmed in the Astrodome, joining Brewster McCloud, a peculiar 1971 Robert Altman film largely shot in the stadium, The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training, and Murder at the World Series, an ABC-TV movie of the week that featured the Astros in a World Series before they had even won a division championship. This newest movie is also a murder mystery.
