Trending
Inspired by two real Australian killers, Ivan Milat and Bradley Murdoch, three backpackers come across an outback land where one of them turns out to be a predator. Actor John Jarratt's perfect performance as Mick Taylor is nothing but charming and horror-struck, as embodied by that friendly Aussie turned wrong from the stereotype. The reality of the gritty film had audiences shocked with brutal scenes: it was a landmark Australian horror. Director Greg McLean filmed the vast, isolating landscapes of the outback, heightening the sense of dread. Its success spawned a sequel and a TV series.
