AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A married couple take a camping trip to a remote beach to heal their savagely wounded relationship, but prove as destructive and lethal to the world around them as they are to themselves. Mother Nature has a dark side' (Source: Screen Australia. Sighted: 1/6/2012).

Notes

  • The film is a modernised version of the 1978 film, by the same script-writer (Everett De Roche). Nods to the original film include naming a pub the Eggleston Hotel, after the director of the original film (who died in 2002).
  • The trailer for this film is available to view on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm9l3eTOyFw (Sighted: 1/6/2012)
