Ha ha, that Cricket one looks fun!

Wolf Creek has been the only one that's been memorable for me in the horror world from Australia.

Undead was okay too, I want to see Rogue though.

Dying Breed and Long Weekend look the best.

This poster got banned for advertising in Australian bus shelters

and so it should be, little kids around. It's not nice when you don't have a choice in public. Good for them.

It does look rather fun though 🙂

The Dark Lurking Looks AWESOME

The Strawman

Synopsis: In the wake of an economic meltdown, the government declares martial law on its citizens and enslaves them. A handful of survivors set out to save their country.

The ones that have me interesed

Dying Breed- sounds good except for the dodgy name for the killer "The Pie Man" 😆 😆

The Dark Lurking- i like the sound of it
The Fury
Scarecrow
Daybreakers

There's an Aussie film coming out that sounds similar to Open Water.

For 3 British backpackers it seemed like a dream come true. A Week cruising the world's most beautiful coral reef, on their own yacht. But when their boat capsizes leaving them stranded on an overturned hull the dream turns into a nightmare. What should they do? Stay with a damaged hull that could sink at any moment or try to swim for land! Finally deciding to swim, the three friends take to the water. As they close in on land a fin surfaces and with it the realization that they are being stalked by a deadly fifteen foot white pointer shark. Will any of them make the swim or will the sea take what it wants?

Road Train

Looks like an Aussie version of Joy Ride is on the way.

Few more Aussie horrors on the slate. Looks like we are becoming a bit of a horror making nation now since the release of Wolf Creek, Rogue, and Dying Breed.
