Watched this dark Aussie film from 1971 for the first time last night. Great stuff, with a fantastic turn by Donald Pleasance. (The squeemish may want to skip the kangaroo hunt scene...)

Sounds good and the reviews are brilliant.
Definitely not what I need to see right now though.

Interesting choice of preview pic.
Or is that just the most recent view from one of your hidden cameras?

No complaints from me.
It's the first time a tan line has turned me on.
