Australian Horror

We have a special movie ticket giveaway for people who can get to Sydney on the 16th of May, to see Carrie and The Honeymoon Killers at the Chauvel. Details are here.

Some horrors are universal, or certainly global, but individual countries still produce unique and recognisable styles. In Australia, famed as a setting for the end of the world, the vision is often apocalyptic, with stark landscapes and crippling isolation -- from the outback to the cities themselves. It's also spawned numerous talented authors, film-makers and artists, including those like Peter Weir, Alex Proyas and Nick Cave whose successes are on the world stage.

This site is a tribute to the local art of the macabre, and a deeper examination of the themes at work. There's a lot more out there than drop bears.
