This grim, violent Australian production is an artless mishmash incorporating elements of The Road Warrior, 1984 , and The Most Dangerous Game. The story is set in a dystopian future society where all... read more

Australian made slasher/survival flick. Not so much horror, but has a few gruesome moments during the last 30 minutes. The other hour is fairly uneventful apart from Olivia Hussey's shower scene.

The Aussie's do it again! Another thoroughly awesome and low budget thriller. Although the fight choreographer obviously called in sick, the script is just too bonkers not to love.

Gave this one a re-watch to get it off the To-Watch Pile, it holds up well due to tall the downright weirdness of the proceedings. I mean, seriously, why the fuck is there a werewolf-ish creature riding shotgun whilst one of the upper-crust types hunts a prisoner? Who the hell ... read more

This movie is rated as highly as it is because of the "good" bad movie factor. It's a low budget gore-drenched exploitation fest that possesses few legitimate merits. Nevertheless, fans of the various Troma films and other similar low-budget affairs should definately check out ... read more
