Classic game re-imagined as a road movie

VIDEO: Pac-Man in real life

Despite the seemingly harmless nature of the game, at least compared to other arcade offerings, Pac-Man was often an incredibly tense way to spend 50p.

Even without a burly older kid standing behind us, the edgy music and Pac-Man's desperate, insatiable hunger always caused an involuntary foot tap.

Feeling our fear, Not Working Films created this re-imagining of the Pac-Man story as a frenzied car chase down a bleak stretch of road.

It gives the game a new, darker edge and we can foresee a Don't Look Now style sex scene with Ms. Pac-Man in the pipeline.
