Cold in July, a brilliant if underseen crime thriller from 2014, is airing on TV tonight (Thursday, 29 January).
Already shaken by the experience, he is soon visited by the dead man's father, Ben Russell (Sam Shepard, The Right Stuff), who seeks revenge against Richard's family.
Ben's vengeful plan is complicated, however, when he realises there was more to the initial burglary than meets the eye and when a private detective (Don Johnson, Knives Out) shows up asking questions.
We'd urge fans of crime thrillers to seek out the 2014 film, thanks to its atmospheric Texas setting, its terrific trio of lead performances and its unpredictable, twisty story.
Holding an 84% Rotten Tomatoes score, Cold in July is airing on TV tonight on the channel Legend Xtra at 9pm.
It is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play and the Sky Store.
