What would you do if faced with the daunting challenge of compiling a list of 31 Australian horror films from the 70s, 80s and beyond? How would you dissect each one, unearthing the thematic commonalities while keeping your nerves intact? That's precisely the task we've taken on in this hair-raising episode. Join your host, Pete and special guest, Bede from the Super Network, as we delve into the bone-chilling realm of Aussie horror classics like 'Wake in Fright', 'Night of Fear', and 'Houseboat Horror', kicking off a journey into the spine-tingling depths of cinematic terror.
In our exploration, we detour through Pete's innovative Halloween challenge, venturing into an analysis over thirty-one adrenaline-pumping days. Featuring 'Next Of Kin', 'Razorback', 'Dark Age', and 'Black Sheep', we dissect these classics, unmasking their eerie allure while savouring the thrill of each scare. We take a side trip into indie cinema, where we explore 'Stuffings' - a unique Christmas horror film and Leigh Whannell's 'The Invisible Man'. We also discuss 'Night of Fear', the first Australian horror film, and compare the Australian and US versions of 'Body Melt'.
The climax of our journey takes us into the world of modern horror narratives, where the lines between real-world horrors and fictional terror blur. We intensely examine films like 'The Nightingale', 'Snowtown', 'Little Monsters', and 'Turkey Shoot', all while unearthing their unique horror elements. We also examine classic horror films such as 'Scare Campaign', 'Blood Rage', 'Pieces', 'One Must Fall', and 'Blood Vessel'. We conclude with a glimpse into the future, speculating on the upcoming 'Surrogate'. So, buckle up for a wild ride into the heart of Australian horror cinema – it's a thrilling, chilling adventure not for the faint-hearted.

00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 <v Speaker 1>You're listening to Monster Kid Podcast.
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33 <v Speaker 2>G'day and welcome to a Dingo8MyMovie.
00:00:33 --> 00:00:39 <v Speaker 2>It's a podcast that celebrates the weird and wonderful world of Australian film from the 70s, 80s and beyond.
00:00:39 --> 00:00:45 <v Speaker 2>As ever, I'm your host, pete, and today I'm joined by Bid from the Super Network.
00:00:45 --> 00:00:49 <v Speaker 2>And today we've got something a little bit different, haven't we, bid?
00:00:49 --> 00:00:57 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, indeed, like you kind of reached out to me and had this idea, I thought, okay, this is a really cool idea to do.
00:00:57 --> 00:01:00 <v Speaker 1>I was definitely down to do that as well.
00:01:00 --> 00:01:09 <v Speaker 1>Also, my co-host over at the Super Network, super Marcy, was going to be here for this as well, but she's a bit under the weather at the moment.
00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 <v Speaker 1>So she sends her regards and, yeah, she and I put a list.
00:01:12 --> 00:01:13 <v Speaker 2>All the best to her.
00:01:13 --> 00:01:20 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, so she and I put a list together of that we're doing for this episode.
00:01:20 --> 00:01:20 <v Speaker 2>Yeah.
00:01:20 --> 00:01:28 <v Speaker 2>So I thought to myself, you know, like every year I, oh, firstly, this is going to be pretty different.
00:01:28 --> 00:01:43 <v Speaker 2>I couldn't really decide whether this should be episode 33 or 32 and a half, but every Halloween like you know lots of other horror fans I love to make like a list of 31 films that I want to watch over the over the every day in October.
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48 <v Speaker 2>And I was thinking, you know what if I found 31 Australian horror films to watch?
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 <v Speaker 2>So I thought, oh, this would be a good idea.
00:01:50 --> 00:02:00 <v Speaker 2>And then, like you said, I reached out to you and Marcy and thought, oh, this might be fun to just have a nice simple, you know, easy podcast I gave myself.
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01 <v Speaker 2>There was.
00:02:01 --> 00:02:04 <v Speaker 2>I don't think I discussed any ground rules at all with you guys, do I?
00:02:05 --> 00:02:09 <v Speaker 1>No, not really, Other than it being that all the films need to be Australian.
00:02:09 --> 00:02:11 <v Speaker 1>Australian, that was pretty much essentially, yeah.
00:02:12 --> 00:02:18 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I cheated, I snuck in like a New Zealand film, I think.
00:02:18 --> 00:02:22 <v Speaker 2>But do you normally do a list of Halloween?
00:02:22 --> 00:02:30 <v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, like well, I'm not sure when this episode will drop, but before Halloween yeah, before Halloween, yeah.
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34 <v Speaker 1>I guess every year I do a 31 days of horror.
00:02:34 --> 00:02:38 <v Speaker 1>So I always watch a movie like a horror film every day throughout it.
00:02:38 --> 00:02:42 <v Speaker 1>But I do buy it a little bit more insane compared to everyone else.
00:02:42 --> 00:02:51 <v Speaker 1>Like for the last 11 years, when it comes to my list, I technically watch 62.
00:02:51 --> 00:03:01 <v Speaker 1>For the month, because what essentially it is is like I watch an old horror film that a newer one on the same day.
00:03:01 --> 00:03:14 <v Speaker 1>So it's kind of like a good example of me catching up with old horror films I've never seen before and kind of more newish ones that have been out for a little while that I just haven't had a chance to get around to watching.
00:03:14 --> 00:03:26 <v Speaker 1>But what I kind of do is like and I've been doing kind of this for the last few years is that I try to find sort of thematic like similarities between the two yeah.
00:03:27 --> 00:03:36 <v Speaker 1>Whether it be if they happen to be of the same subgenre or if they just had specific storytelling aspects that are similar to each other.
00:03:36 --> 00:03:46 <v Speaker 1>So at the time of this recording, I've already just basically finished writing my list and I'm going to post it on supermasterycom so people can see.
00:03:46 --> 00:04:01 <v Speaker 1>But not only do I have those films, but I also have a bunch of bonus films, Mainly films that are going to peer throughout the month of October like on all the streaming services or in cinemas.
00:04:01 --> 00:04:09 <v Speaker 1>So yeah, I'm a little insane when it comes to my list and I think there's like 80 odd movies on there now.
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10 <v Speaker 1>Oh wow.
00:04:10 --> 00:04:12 <v Speaker 2>And then, if you add these, it's even more right.
00:04:12 --> 00:04:15 <v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, so, oh yeah, definitely so yeah.
00:04:15 --> 00:04:16 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah.
00:04:16 --> 00:04:20 <v Speaker 2>So you don't really have any staple films.
00:04:20 --> 00:04:32 <v Speaker 2>So like, for instance, when I do my list every year, I generally I know it's very cliched I like to watch Halloween on Halloween, oh yeah, and then I'll watch other staples like Trick or Treat and things like that.
00:04:32 --> 00:04:36 <v Speaker 2>But then, yeah, I think your idea is great, actually watching some older stuff.
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37 <v Speaker 1>Well, that's the thing.
00:04:37 --> 00:04:51 <v Speaker 1>Like you know, I usually do try to tend to watch like Trick or Treat or Halloween, before or after the whole month of October, Because I try to fit a couple of years I've tried to fit both in there, but I just never able to.
00:04:51 --> 00:05:05 <v Speaker 1>So what I've decided to do is either on the very last day of the month, on the 31st, my double feature for that day is two horror films that are actually set on Halloween.
00:05:05 --> 00:05:06 <v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah.
00:05:07 --> 00:05:07 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah.
00:05:07 --> 00:05:12 <v Speaker 1>So I kind of just do that to kind of make up for the fact that I probably don't get a chance to get around to watching up.
00:05:12 --> 00:05:16 <v Speaker 1>I'm a Halloween or Trick or Treat for that month.
00:05:17 --> 00:05:18 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, Okay.
00:05:18 --> 00:05:22 <v Speaker 2>So yeah, I'm going to try and see if I can do this list plus my nor.
00:05:22 --> 00:05:25 <v Speaker 2>I haven't made a list yet for the other one, but I might.
00:05:25 --> 00:05:27 <v Speaker 2>Maybe I'll just cheat and follow your list through.
00:05:30 --> 00:05:31 <v Speaker 1>That might be a good idea actually.
00:05:32 --> 00:05:32 <v Speaker 2>Yeah.
00:05:32 --> 00:05:41 <v Speaker 2>So what I thought we would do is I thought, well, maybe I've split mine into like groups of seven except for the last three, obviously, because it's not an even number.
00:05:41 --> 00:05:57 <v Speaker 2>Maybe we can do walk through them as like week one, week two, blah, blah, blah, and just maybe there'll be obviously a little bit of discussion with each one and whatnot, and just see how we sort of come up with it.
00:05:57 --> 00:06:18 <v Speaker 2>So I've kind of like started mine with I thought how could I not do an Australian horror month without starting with something which is like not classic horror, but I still think it's a horror film, which is Wake in Fright, and I thought that would be a great one to start the whole thing with.
00:06:18 --> 00:06:22 <v Speaker 2>My first week is mostly kind of slashes, right.
00:06:22 --> 00:06:24 <v Speaker 2>So I've got Night of Fear from 72.
00:06:24 --> 00:06:28 <v Speaker 2>You can't do it without nightmares, You've got to have nightmares in there.
00:06:28 --> 00:06:38 <v Speaker 2>I've got good old Houseboat Horror and I thought this year and I haven't seen it for years and I found a copy of that Remember Blood Moon.
00:06:38 --> 00:06:55 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I think it was 1980 or something 1990, sorry, yeah, well, I think Umbrella might be releasing that on Blu-ray soon, because I think at Monster Fest this year they've announced they're screening a 4K restoration of Blood Moon.
00:06:55 --> 00:06:57 <v Speaker 1>Cool, wow.
00:06:57 --> 00:06:57 <v Speaker 1>How cool, is that?
00:06:57 --> 00:07:13 <v Speaker 1>So if that is the case, yeah, it will definitely be coming out on Blu-ray very soon, and I mean, that's what I haven't seen for a very long time, but it's one I've been meaning to revisit, but now, knowing that there's a 4K restoration of it, it's this way, yeah.
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, on its way.
00:07:14 --> 00:07:15 <v Speaker 1>So it's just.
00:07:15 --> 00:07:17 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, just keep a lookout for that when it hits.
00:07:18 --> 00:07:20 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then I have Cut, which I've never seen.
00:07:20 --> 00:07:22 <v Speaker 2>I've had the Blu-ray for Yonks.
00:07:22 --> 00:07:26 <v Speaker 2>I've heard that it's not a great movie, but I thought isn't this?
00:07:26 --> 00:07:29 <v Speaker 2>Is it the one that's got Kylie Minogue in it or something?
00:07:29 --> 00:07:31 <v Speaker 2>Yes, and it's supposed to be really awful.
00:07:32 --> 00:07:36 <v Speaker 1>I have to say I am an unabashed fan of Cut.
00:07:36 --> 00:08:26 <v Speaker 1>It is one of those horror films like when I started becoming a huge horror fan in my teens, that was one of the ones I gravitated towards too, because I think at the time because this was around the post-scream slasher movement and Cut was basically Australia's answer to that movement I was just so obsessed with it and throughout the years I bought it on VHS, I bought it on DVD from overseas, I bought the Blu-ray when that came out, I bought the soundtrack to it and I even went to the Q&A screening when Monster Fest did it the restoration screening of that four years ago and funnily enough they did that as a double feature with Houseboat Horror.
00:08:27 --> 00:08:28 <v Speaker 2>Okay, well, that's a great pairing.
00:08:28 --> 00:08:30 <v Speaker 2>Maybe I should just switch them around.
00:08:30 --> 00:08:33 <v Speaker 2>And yeah, it's a nice pairing actually.
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, definitely.
00:08:34 --> 00:08:40 <v Speaker 1>They actually complement each other very well, so you could easily do a double feature of both those films.
00:08:41 --> 00:08:47 <v Speaker 2>And I'm closing out my seven days with Alice's Birthday, which I saw recently.
00:08:47 --> 00:08:51 <v Speaker 2>But I really like that movie and it makes sense when you see my day eight.
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52 <v Speaker 1>Yeah.
00:08:54 --> 00:08:55 <v Speaker 2>Because I've kind of grouped them.
00:08:55 --> 00:08:58 <v Speaker 2>I thought, well, we go through these seven days at a time.
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59 <v Speaker 2>I thought it was probably the easiest.
00:08:59 --> 00:09:05 <v Speaker 2>But I've kind of grouped some of them together as sort you can see the trends when you go through it.
00:09:05 --> 00:09:06 <v Speaker 2>So what have you got for your first week?
00:09:07 --> 00:09:13 <v Speaker 1>Well, I think there's going to be a definite overlap with some of our films from our list, for sure, for sure.
00:09:13 --> 00:09:19 <v Speaker 1>Well, funnily enough, we had down on our list Waking Fright as the very first film.
00:09:20 --> 00:09:21 <v Speaker 2>Oh, there you go, that's amazing.
00:09:23 --> 00:09:33 <v Speaker 1>But in terms of other films we did put down the loved ones on there as well Classic modern horror from Australia.
00:09:34 --> 00:09:40 <v Speaker 1>Then of course we had Razorback in there as well, which you know we're big fans of as well.
00:09:40 --> 00:09:58 <v Speaker 1>I also have Cut on the list as well, and I also have Next of Kin, which is one of my personal favorite Australian horror films and I love it, one that I'm really glad that has kind of developed the following over the last few years, especially like overseas.
00:09:58 --> 00:10:06 <v Speaker 1>Also on the list, houseboat Horror again, because Marcy and I are absolutely obsessed with that movie.
00:10:07 --> 00:10:09 <v Speaker 2>So am I, especially the music.
00:10:09 --> 00:10:10 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
00:10:10 --> 00:10:17 <v Speaker 1>And after that we, in my opinion, probably one of the greatest Australian horror films ever made Wolf Creek.
00:10:17 --> 00:10:19 <v Speaker 1>And what else do I have here?
00:10:20 --> 00:10:21 <v Speaker 2>Was that your first seven or you got them?
00:10:22 --> 00:10:24 <v Speaker 1>Just let me just sort of checking the number.
00:10:24 --> 00:10:26 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's my first seven.
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, great.
00:10:27 --> 00:10:34 <v Speaker 2>That's really good, yeah, and I'll see you in the next one coming up and that's probably one of my favorite Australian movies of all time.
00:10:34 --> 00:10:35 <v Speaker 2>That's a great movie, love it.
00:10:36 --> 00:10:38 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's just a masterpiece, in my opinion.
00:10:39 --> 00:10:40 <v Speaker 2>I just find the photography.
00:10:40 --> 00:10:44 <v Speaker 2>The whole feel of the movie is great and you get to see John Jared again.
00:10:45 --> 00:11:08 <v Speaker 1>And also like what I think is great about the film, because I think I first heard about it in the doco not quite Hollywood and I think what was one of the reasons why I wanted to check the film out was Quentin Tarantino in that film said that it was probably in terms of the tone of it, it was probably the closest to the Shining Stanley Kubrick's film.
00:11:09 --> 00:11:10 <v Speaker 2>Right, interesting yeah.
00:11:10 --> 00:11:12 <v Speaker 1>And I could definitely pick that up in that film.
00:11:12 --> 00:11:18 <v Speaker 1>But I would even say like it kind of feels to me like an Australian, like Lucho Fauci film.
00:11:19 --> 00:11:20 <v Speaker 2>It is a bit, isn't it?
00:11:20 --> 00:11:20 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah.
00:11:20 --> 00:11:23 <v Speaker 1>Because it's a mixture of so many different genres.
00:11:23 --> 00:11:35 <v Speaker 1>Like it has a bit of slasher, it has a mystery, it has surrealism, supernatural elements, like it kind of it's a mixed bag of so many different subgenres.
00:11:35 --> 00:11:37 <v Speaker 2>It's almost like a greatest hits right.
00:11:37 --> 00:11:40 <v Speaker 1>Oh, yeah, yeah, and it's very unpredictable as well.
00:11:40 --> 00:11:43 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, it is First watch of that was fantastic.
00:11:43 --> 00:11:49 <v Speaker 2>I can't remember it was a long time ago, but I still remember it was great Because for a while you're wondering what the hell's going on.
00:11:50 --> 00:12:01 <v Speaker 1>I'll tell you this, pete, when I saw it once, I absolutely loved it on the first go, but then I think I watched it again three years later and I'm not even joking Like even though I hadn't seen it three years prior.
00:12:01 --> 00:12:04 <v Speaker 1>I completely forgot how the movie ended, so I was caught off.
00:12:04 --> 00:12:10 <v Speaker 1>I was caught off by the twist of the film twice, because I completely forgot about the twist.
00:12:10 --> 00:12:11 <v Speaker 2>That's awesome.
00:12:11 --> 00:12:17 <v Speaker 2>So my date hey, this kind of carries on from Alison's birthday.
00:12:17 --> 00:12:22 <v Speaker 2>My next one is Celia, which I was was a very surprising movie for me.
00:12:22 --> 00:12:27 <v Speaker 2>We did that on the podcast ages ago now, but but I love revisiting it.
00:12:27 --> 00:12:28 <v Speaker 2>It's such a great movie.
00:12:28 --> 00:12:31 <v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if it's true horror movie, but it's kind of.
00:12:31 --> 00:12:35 <v Speaker 2>You know, it's got that folk horror kind of feel to it.
00:12:36 --> 00:12:37 <v Speaker 2>It's, it's really interesting.
00:12:37 --> 00:12:43 <v Speaker 2>And then of course I'm going in with Picnic at Hanging Rock, so that kind of gets me into that.
00:12:43 --> 00:12:54 <v Speaker 2>And then I've got Next of Kin, which is kind of like, gives me those, those four movies that are kind of not the same but they kind of have a similar kind of feel to them, all a bit mysterious.
00:12:54 --> 00:13:08 <v Speaker 2>You know, after Next of Kin I've got Razorback, then I've got Dark Age, and then I've got my little ring in from New Zealand which is Black Sheep, yes, and so I've got my little, my little creature features for three days going on there.
00:13:08 --> 00:13:09 <v Speaker 2>And then I've got Patrick.
00:13:09 --> 00:13:11 <v Speaker 2>I'm really looking forward to those three.
00:13:11 --> 00:13:15 <v Speaker 2>I was tossing up with it to find I was looking for two.
00:13:15 --> 00:13:26 <v Speaker 2>Originally I had Razorback and Dark Age and I thought I really want a third creature feature sort of thing, and I was thinking, oh well, I do like the reef, or will I do?
00:13:26 --> 00:13:29 <v Speaker 2>What was the one where the shark was loose in the supermarkets?
00:13:30 --> 00:13:40 <v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, I thought about that one and I was thinking of boar and all these other stuff and I thought I'll just, I'll just sneak in Black Sheep.
00:13:40 --> 00:13:47 <v Speaker 2>So, yeah, and then, of course, patrick, which is a fun movie to watch.
00:13:47 --> 00:13:48 <v Speaker 1>Oh, definitely, definitely.
00:13:48 --> 00:13:51 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I guess for my second week.
00:13:51 --> 00:13:57 <v Speaker 1>I started off with a creature feature as well and I got a surprise you didn't pick this for your second week.
00:13:57 --> 00:14:02 <v Speaker 1>It's another and it's from the director of Wolf Creek Rogue.
00:14:02 --> 00:14:04 <v Speaker 2>Oh, Rogue's a great movie yeah.
00:14:05 --> 00:14:10 <v Speaker 1>And it is definitely a great killer crocodile movie, a giant crocodile movie, I should say.
00:14:10 --> 00:14:13 <v Speaker 1>After that is a very little known film.
00:14:13 --> 00:14:22 <v Speaker 1>I don't think anyone else has seen this one other than Marcy and I, and we did like an episode of this for the Two Be Tuesdays podcast.
00:14:22 --> 00:14:27 <v Speaker 1>It's an indie Christmas horror film called Stuffings.
00:14:28 --> 00:14:29 <v Speaker 2>Oh, really, it's a.
00:14:29 --> 00:14:30 <v Speaker 2>That sounds really interesting.
00:14:31 --> 00:14:32 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's, it's.
00:14:32 --> 00:14:40 <v Speaker 1>It's the definition of a micro budget Aussie horror film, but it's a really fun little movie with a really cool kind of satirical edge for it.
00:14:40 --> 00:14:45 <v Speaker 1>It's on two be and also pride video, so it's easy to watch it there, easy to get.
00:14:45 --> 00:14:50 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it's about this couple who are like these social media influencers.
00:14:50 --> 00:15:03 <v Speaker 1>They decide on the Christmas weekend to go out camping outside of Adelaide and they get besieged by well, that's the thing there, the town that they go to it has like all these stuff.
00:15:03 --> 00:15:23 <v Speaker 1>Santa Claus is around and the Santa Claus has come alive and kill everybody, like it is very like I said, it's a definition of a very silly low budget horror film, but it does have a lot of charm and you can't help but get caught up in the silliness of it and it is quite a lot of fun as well.
00:15:24 --> 00:15:25 <v Speaker 2>Okay, that sounds great.
00:15:25 --> 00:15:26 <v Speaker 2>I'll have to check that one out for sure.
00:15:27 --> 00:15:44 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, my next one is Lee Waddell's the Invisible man, which I guess some people could take issue whether it's a full blown Australian horror film or not, but it's a co-production and it is made by an Australian filmmaker and I was shot here in Australia.
00:15:44 --> 00:15:48 <v Speaker 2>I was going to say I was shot here down south coast, New South Wales.
00:15:48 --> 00:15:58 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, and also the the actor awards recognized it that year, so I'm counting it as a pick for this list.
00:15:59 --> 00:16:00 <v Speaker 2>It's such a good movie too right?
00:16:00 --> 00:16:03 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
00:16:03 --> 00:16:06 <v Speaker 2>Because I always wondered when they announced that movie.
00:16:06 --> 00:16:11 <v Speaker 2>Because you've only, you know, I've only ever seen the old was it in the 50s?
00:16:11 --> 00:16:12 <v Speaker 2>The Invisible man.
00:16:12 --> 00:16:18 <v Speaker 2>The 50s, I think 30s, so they're far back and I was like, how are they going to pull this off?
00:16:18 --> 00:16:20 <v Speaker 2>And I was totally surprised how they actually pulled it off.
00:16:20 --> 00:16:20 <v Speaker 2>It was great.
00:16:21 --> 00:16:29 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's a brilliant follow up to Lee Waddell as a director after Upgrade and yeah, it's just so brilliantly done.
00:16:29 --> 00:16:45 <v Speaker 1>It's very topical in what it sets out to do with its story and also just the how some scenes are staged, like the restaurant scene, is like phenomenal and it's pretty intense as well.
00:16:46 --> 00:16:46 <v Speaker 2>It's a great movie.
00:16:46 --> 00:16:47 <v Speaker 2>I've got it.
00:16:47 --> 00:16:48 <v Speaker 2>I'm going to have to watch it again now.
00:16:48 --> 00:16:50 <v Speaker 2>I'll have to sneak it in those 32 days now.
00:16:51 --> 00:17:00 <v Speaker 1>Yeah Well, my next on the list is actually the very first Australian horror film ever made Night of Fear.
00:17:00 --> 00:17:05 <v Speaker 2>Ooh, I had that in my first week, yeah Well, how great is that.
00:17:06 --> 00:17:07 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's so.
00:17:07 --> 00:17:16 <v Speaker 1>It's interesting watching that film, especially knowing the fact that it was originally made to be a pilot for a TV show, a horror anthology show that they were going to make.
00:17:16 --> 00:17:36 <v Speaker 1>But apparently the I think it was the ABC who made it, because I wrote a column about this film back in the day for the screencast and but basically the ABC found the pilot so intense and so gross that they were like, yeah, we can't air this and they canceled the show.
00:17:36 --> 00:17:45 <v Speaker 1>That's why, if you watch the film, it has the title Fright, that night of fear, because Fright was the name of the TV show it was going to be on.
00:17:46 --> 00:17:46 <v Speaker 2>That's great.
00:17:46 --> 00:17:48 <v Speaker 2>I haven't had a chance either to look.
00:17:48 --> 00:17:50 <v Speaker 2>I've got like two versions.
00:17:50 --> 00:17:56 <v Speaker 2>I've got the old DVD from Umbrella and I've got the upgraded, the Blu-ray they released.
00:17:56 --> 00:18:00 <v Speaker 2>Now I'm not sure what the difference in quality is like, but I know the DVD is.
00:18:00 --> 00:18:03 <v Speaker 2>It's like watching a VHS.
00:18:03 --> 00:18:08 <v Speaker 2>Basically it's always been a dual release with in of the damned.
00:18:08 --> 00:18:14 <v Speaker 2>And that one's really like watching a VHS at the original DVD.
00:18:14 --> 00:18:18 <v Speaker 2>So I haven't had a chance to catch up with the Blu-ray yet, which I've had in my collection for a while.
00:18:18 --> 00:18:20 <v Speaker 1>But yeah, that's great.
00:18:20 --> 00:18:28 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I got the same Blu-ray as well and I think they did that that restorations on both of them.
00:18:28 --> 00:18:39 <v Speaker 1>So I'm very curious to see how both of the films look, and I think the reason why they always pair those two films together because they're probably the same director, Terrio Rock, so he directed both of them.
00:18:40 --> 00:18:46 <v Speaker 2>And they're reasonably short too, I think, because, like, obviously, night of fear is quite short, because obviously it was made for TV.
00:18:47 --> 00:18:50 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it's about just over 50 minutes long.
00:18:51 --> 00:18:53 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's got that great shot of like Norman.
00:18:53 --> 00:18:54 <v Speaker 2>Is it Norman Yen?
00:18:54 --> 00:19:02 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, norman Yen yeah, holding the skull in front of his crotch Like no wonder it never made it.
00:19:02 --> 00:19:03 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah.
00:19:03 --> 00:19:09 <v Speaker 1>And also it's kind of a precursor to the Texas chainsaw massacre in a way, because it has that grotty, grimy feel to it.
00:19:09 --> 00:19:15 <v Speaker 1>But what I think makes it even more interesting is there's no dialogue in the film at all.
00:19:15 --> 00:19:16 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's not one bit, is there I?
00:19:17 --> 00:19:21 <v Speaker 1>think the only dialogue here is like on a radio bulletin, and that's about it.
00:19:21 --> 00:19:32 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, the next one on my list is Alison's Birthday, of course, okay, which is a film that I've seen a few times now, and it gets better and better with each viewing.
00:19:32 --> 00:19:33 <v Speaker 2>You guys did that on a copy.
00:19:33 --> 00:19:38 <v Speaker 2>Are you guys did that on an episode of your Osprey House, right?
00:19:38 --> 00:19:45 <v Speaker 2>I'm sure, because I've been listening to a couple of yours lately catching up, because there's a few I missed, and I'm sure you did it on one of those.
00:19:46 --> 00:19:54 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think it was one of the last two or three episodes we did and the shows have been on a bit of a hiatus for a little while, but we are going to bring it back very soon.
00:19:54 --> 00:19:59 <v Speaker 1>Oh good, so because and continue on the journey of Osploitation Cinema.
00:19:59 --> 00:20:01 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, we did that as a.
00:20:01 --> 00:20:11 <v Speaker 1>That was a great discussion we had with Alison's Birthday because I'd seen it before, but Marcy and our special guest for that episode, lindsay Wilkins, they had never seen the film before.
00:20:11 --> 00:20:17 <v Speaker 1>Right, so it's interesting kind of watching this little folk Australian horror film.
00:20:17 --> 00:20:19 <v Speaker 2>So it's such a great movie.
00:20:19 --> 00:20:22 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's really good and it's great that it's everywhere.
00:20:22 --> 00:20:27 <v Speaker 1>Like not only is it on that, you know the Blu-ray on, I think it's the all.
00:20:27 --> 00:20:31 <v Speaker 1>It was one where it was released in the US like a box set of full of.
00:20:31 --> 00:20:33 <v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, with all the all the folk horror stuff.
00:20:33 --> 00:20:34 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's.
00:20:34 --> 00:20:41 <v Speaker 1>I can't think of the title of the box set right now, but it's great though that it's kind of everywhere.
00:20:41 --> 00:20:52 <v Speaker 1>I mean you can watch the film on Prime Video Canopy Shutter here, like it's, and to be as well so it's easy to watch.
00:20:52 --> 00:21:07 <v Speaker 2>I find it super atmospheric and just really and well, this is going back kind of listening to your episode about it, but the her grandparents so, was it?
00:21:08 --> 00:21:08 <v Speaker 1>grandkids.
00:21:08 --> 00:21:10 <v Speaker 1>I think it was her aunt and uncle, yeah.
00:21:10 --> 00:21:14 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, the way they start out and then the way they end it's, it's very interesting.
00:21:14 --> 00:21:20 <v Speaker 1>Well, my mind was blown like doing research, because the aunt was the set was on the TV show.
00:21:20 --> 00:21:21 <v Speaker 1>Round the twist.
00:21:22 --> 00:21:23 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I heard you mention that.
00:21:25 --> 00:21:36 <v Speaker 1>And it was so weird, kind of like that's the great thing about doing the Osplay cast, especially doing all the films in, would say, chronological order, but it gets year by year.
00:21:36 --> 00:21:46 <v Speaker 1>It's like you get to see all the same actors basically working in multiple projects or even just being introduced, actors who we would know later on down the track in other stuff.
00:21:46 --> 00:21:51 <v Speaker 1>So like I think Bruce Spence has been at least in like 70% of the movies.
00:21:53 --> 00:21:58 <v Speaker 2>Totally unrelated, but my wife and I have been, or been, doing it for quite a while now.
00:21:58 --> 00:22:07 <v Speaker 2>We've started watching the X-Files from every start and we're up to season seven or something now and the people that pop up in that show is amazing.
00:22:07 --> 00:22:12 <v Speaker 2>Like I was watching an episode I think it was last week and I was like fuck, is that Ted White?
00:22:12 --> 00:22:14 <v Speaker 2>Is that Jason from the final chapter?
00:22:14 --> 00:22:24 <v Speaker 2>Fucking was right, he was working in a servo, he was a service station attendant and you see all these other people and you go, oh, who's that person?
00:22:24 --> 00:22:29 <v Speaker 2>So he's sitting there half the time with IMDB looking people up and, yeah, and it's great.
00:22:29 --> 00:22:31 <v Speaker 2>I've forgotten how great that series is as well.
00:22:32 --> 00:22:33 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
00:22:33 --> 00:22:42 <v Speaker 1>My next one for a bit of silliness for this week, along with Stuffings, is the Howling Tree, the marsupials.
00:22:42 --> 00:22:46 <v Speaker 2>Oh, yes, that's great.
00:22:46 --> 00:22:49 <v Speaker 2>That was one of my favorite episodes I did in my podcast.
00:22:49 --> 00:22:51 <v Speaker 2>That's such a bad great.
00:22:51 --> 00:23:02 <v Speaker 1>a great bad movie, yeah, like it's one of those movies, like you hear about it for so long and like I will say, I mean the first Howling film is a legit great film.
00:23:02 --> 00:23:05 <v Speaker 1>The second one is a legit terrible film.
00:23:05 --> 00:23:06 <v Speaker 2>So I've heard one with thumbs.
00:23:06 --> 00:23:07 <v Speaker 2>Is it Sybil Danning?
00:23:07 --> 00:23:09 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, sybil Danning and Christopher Lee.
00:23:09 --> 00:23:22 <v Speaker 1>And my favorite story about Christopher Lee being in that film just to go on a slight tangent is that when he worked with Joe Dante on Gretlins 2, he actually personally apologized for Joe Dante for being in Howling 2.
00:23:22 --> 00:23:37 <v Speaker 2>Because I don't remember from Howling 2, because I haven't watched it for so long is that they keep repeating the shot at the end of the movie, near the credits, where Sybil Danning's top comes off, or something like that oh yeah, they do that.
00:23:37 --> 00:23:43 <v Speaker 1>And also Christopher Lee wearing those very awesome shades 80s shades that he has.
00:23:43 --> 00:23:54 <v Speaker 1>But with Howling 3, like it's one of those movies again you hear about the infamy of this film, like, and I kept thinking, like it can't.
00:23:54 --> 00:23:59 <v Speaker 1>I mean, it's definitely not going to be a good movie, but isn't it as insane as people say it is?
00:23:59 --> 00:24:03 <v Speaker 1>You watch it and it is literally bat shit insane.
00:24:04 --> 00:24:04 <v Speaker 2>It is.
00:24:04 --> 00:24:06 <v Speaker 2>It's crazy but it is pretty good.
00:24:06 --> 00:24:07 <v Speaker 2>It's kind of fun to watch.
00:24:07 --> 00:24:08 <v Speaker 2>It's interesting.
00:24:08 --> 00:24:11 <v Speaker 2>There's some interesting like that.
00:24:11 --> 00:24:26 <v Speaker 2>There's obviously throwback to Average the Aboriginal people and dream time and all this sort of stuff and and the origin sort of thing and that sort of stuff in the movie.
00:24:26 --> 00:24:28 <v Speaker 2>It's really quite interesting.
00:24:28 --> 00:24:29 <v Speaker 2>But yeah, it's really silly.
00:24:29 --> 00:24:31 <v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, especially the ballet scene.
00:24:31 --> 00:24:36 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and also David, the pops up at the towards the end for no apparent reason.
00:24:38 --> 00:24:39 <v Speaker 2>Watching the award.
00:24:39 --> 00:24:40 <v Speaker 2>Are she on the award?
00:24:40 --> 00:24:41 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, she's on the award show.
00:24:41 --> 00:24:43 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, but, yeah but.
00:24:43 --> 00:24:59 <v Speaker 1>I think it was because, like Philip a moron, I probably put his name, so please forgive me Like, I think, because he didn't have the best time on howling to, so he said he would do howling free if he's given full creative control.
00:24:59 --> 00:25:10 <v Speaker 1>So basically, like he brought the film to Australia, have it said here, have a all star Australian cast, and just went nuts with the story.
00:25:12 --> 00:25:14 <v Speaker 2>Well, that he certainly did me.
00:25:14 --> 00:25:15 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, definitely it is.
00:25:15 --> 00:25:20 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would definitely say it's not a good film, but it's definitely a so bad, it's good film.
00:25:20 --> 00:25:23 <v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it's not one of those bad movies.
00:25:23 --> 00:25:25 <v Speaker 2>It's just terrible to sit through.
00:25:25 --> 00:25:29 <v Speaker 2>So it's actually enjoyable to sit through, even though it's terrible.
00:25:29 --> 00:25:52 <v Speaker 1>Exactly, exactly, and I guess my final film for the week is a film that that it's surprisingly, is probably like it's a little film that came out of nowhere when it was released barely made a blip, but in the past 15 years it's this release, it's basically become like one of the great Australian horror films of all time, and that's like Mongo.
00:25:53 --> 00:26:02 <v Speaker 2>Oh yes, now I've got to admit I've got this later in my list and it's going to be a first watch for me, so that is going to be really interesting.
00:26:02 --> 00:26:03 <v Speaker 2>I'm really looking forward to seeing it.
00:26:04 --> 00:26:16 <v Speaker 1>I look forward to hearing your thoughts on that, because I feel it there's a lot of great things about the film and it's a great one to discuss if you ever do an episode on it down the track, yeah yeah, I've been thinking about it.
00:26:16 --> 00:26:18 <v Speaker 2>So there's a heap of episodes in all these.
00:26:18 --> 00:26:23 <v Speaker 2>Well, half of these are probably already done, but yeah, it's good, right.
00:26:23 --> 00:26:24 <v Speaker 2>So that's your second week.
00:26:24 --> 00:26:33 <v Speaker 2>So I'm moving into my third week, from number 15 on, where I'm into a couple of vampire movies.
00:26:33 --> 00:26:35 <v Speaker 2>I'm into thirst and then daybreakers.
00:26:35 --> 00:26:39 <v Speaker 2>Nice, daybreak is a really interesting movie as well.
00:26:39 --> 00:26:43 <v Speaker 2>I thought that was really a really great movie from a company.
00:26:43 --> 00:26:47 <v Speaker 2>The last time I saw it it was probably, I think, over five years ago.
00:26:47 --> 00:26:50 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I remember enjoying it, so I'm looking forward to seeing it again.
00:26:50 --> 00:26:52 <v Speaker 2>Thirst is the same.
00:26:52 --> 00:26:59 <v Speaker 2>I've had the Umbrella Blu-ray for Yonks probably since it came out, but I still haven't had the chance to catch up with it.
00:26:59 --> 00:27:02 <v Speaker 2>So I've seen it before, but it was years ago.
00:27:02 --> 00:27:05 <v Speaker 2>And, yeah, looking forward to watching that again.
00:27:05 --> 00:27:06 <v Speaker 2>That's an interesting movie, except for the.
00:27:06 --> 00:27:09 <v Speaker 2>I still remember the scene of one of the.
00:27:09 --> 00:27:10 <v Speaker 2>Who was it?
00:27:10 --> 00:27:15 <v Speaker 2>I can't remember the character, but getting electrocuted on the wiring oh, a little fake.
00:27:16 --> 00:27:18 <v Speaker 1>Oh geez, and I know who it is too.
00:27:18 --> 00:27:21 <v Speaker 1>Oh, henry Silver.
00:27:21 --> 00:27:21 <v Speaker 1>There you go.
00:27:21 --> 00:27:23 <v Speaker 1>Ok, there you go.
00:27:23 --> 00:27:26 <v Speaker 1>I should know this.
00:27:26 --> 00:27:27 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, henry Silver.
00:27:27 --> 00:27:41 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was going to say first is actually with again, if we're doing double features first, I would say would make a great double feature with Daybreakers, because there's a lot of similarities.
00:27:41 --> 00:27:44 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, it would be good, yeah, so that's why I've got them together.
00:27:44 --> 00:27:46 <v Speaker 2>So it'll be quite good to watch those.
00:27:46 --> 00:27:49 <v Speaker 2>And then I'm into a bit of funny stuff, so I'm watching 100 Bloody Acres again which.
00:27:50 --> 00:27:50 <v Speaker 2>I love.
00:27:50 --> 00:27:54 <v Speaker 2>Just so funny and that was a real discovery for me.
00:27:54 --> 00:28:00 <v Speaker 2>I'd heard about it for years, never watched it until I did it for the podcast and just loved it so much.
00:28:00 --> 00:28:01 <v Speaker 2>It's such a great movie.
00:28:01 --> 00:28:07 <v Speaker 2>And then Body Milk, which is just gross, but it's so.
00:28:07 --> 00:28:12 <v Speaker 2>It's another one that's kind of like, no, it's not so bad, it's not.
00:28:12 --> 00:28:15 <v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a level of howling three.
00:28:17 --> 00:28:19 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I wouldn't even say it is a bad film.
00:28:20 --> 00:28:21 <v Speaker 2>Like it's not really.
00:28:21 --> 00:28:25 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, because I remember the first time I saw it in the early 2000s.
00:28:25 --> 00:28:28 <v Speaker 1>I remember hating it the first time I watched it.
00:28:28 --> 00:28:30 <v Speaker 2>Right, but I remember what you hated about it.
00:28:30 --> 00:28:37 <v Speaker 1>I think it was because, like, oh, it has no plot, no characters, it's just like, yeah, gross gore and stuff like that, and like turned me off.
00:28:37 --> 00:28:51 <v Speaker 1>But then I rewatched it off, maybe less than 10 years later, and it just clicked with me Like I got what it was going for and I could see that it was basically an absolute satire.
00:28:51 --> 00:29:03 <v Speaker 1>And I, because I didn't pick up the satirical stuff the first time I watched it, but the second time I totally did- Penge, you can tell whether you're watching a US version or Australian version by what's on the TV.
00:29:03 --> 00:29:06 <v Speaker 2>In the in the house of the like the inbred people.
00:29:06 --> 00:29:12 <v Speaker 2>Ok, there's like if you're watching the Australian version of it, there's hard corporn on the TV.
00:29:12 --> 00:29:15 <v Speaker 2>Yep, and that's been in the US version.
00:29:15 --> 00:29:16 <v Speaker 2>There's something else on the TV.
00:29:17 --> 00:29:18 <v Speaker 1>Interesting.
00:29:18 --> 00:29:26 <v Speaker 1>I mean I still had the old umbrella Blu-ray from a few years back, so I have a look and see which which version it is Australian ones, yeah.
00:29:27 --> 00:29:46 <v Speaker 2>And then after Body Melt I've got one of my other favorites which is kind of borderline Australia US New Zealand movie, which is Strange Behavior or Dead Kids, which is great, and I just love that movie so much for the dance scene which is fantastic.
00:29:46 --> 00:29:50 <v Speaker 2>But it's not a bad little movie either, it's a, it's a fun.
00:29:50 --> 00:29:51 <v Speaker 2>It's a fun movie.
00:29:51 --> 00:30:00 <v Speaker 1>Yeah Well, I didn't see that one in ages too, because I remember the first time I saw it was like, I think, back on Fox Tell years ago this would have been around Australia Day.
00:30:00 --> 00:30:09 <v Speaker 1>They decided to do I think it was the Fox Fox classics they decided to do a five exploitation film Marathon.
00:30:09 --> 00:30:18 <v Speaker 1>Ok, so they had this film, they had first, they had the survivor, they had a turkey shoot and Patrick all playing back to back.
00:30:18 --> 00:30:18 <v Speaker 2>Oh, wow.
00:30:19 --> 00:30:26 <v Speaker 1>And I once saw five that same day because I never I think I don't think I've seen any of actually I don't think I ever saw any of them until that day.
00:30:26 --> 00:30:48 <v Speaker 1>So that was a very fun day, watching all these different types of horror films and including Dead Kids, which, like you say is it is kind of a nigma because it definitely it's made by, like it's definitely has an American feel to it, but it is produced by Australians, well directed and written by Americans, but shot in New Zealand.
00:30:48 --> 00:30:51 <v Speaker 1>So it's kind of this weird mashup of different.
00:30:51 --> 00:30:57 <v Speaker 1>You know, having all those countries together just gives it an interesting feel of a film.
00:30:57 --> 00:30:58 <v Speaker 2>Well, they shipped in most of the actors.
00:30:58 --> 00:31:09 <v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, I'm surprised it got around in the Union Laws, but I'm not sure whether the Union Laws around acting are as strong as they are here, because here it would have been almost impossible, right.
00:31:09 --> 00:31:11 <v Speaker 2>Maybe that's why they did it there, or something.
00:31:11 --> 00:31:11 <v Speaker 1>I think so.
00:31:11 --> 00:31:36 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think also based on what I read, anthony I G and Arnie, who produced a lot of the exploitation films, like I think with one of the films he did I think it might have been Race for the Yankee Zephyr Like I think he Like there was like a thing in the Australian film industry at the time where, like, you can have international actors appear in your film but you're only allowed to.
00:31:36 --> 00:31:40 <v Speaker 1>But he wanted more than just two and they wouldn't allow it.
00:31:40 --> 00:31:50 <v Speaker 1>So he basically was like he decided you know, I'm just going to go to New Zealand, get some money from over there and I can just cast as many non-Australian actors I want.
00:31:50 --> 00:31:50 <v Speaker 2>So what.
00:31:51 --> 00:31:54 <v Speaker 1>And he did that for the next few films he produced after that, including Dead Kids.
00:31:55 --> 00:31:56 <v Speaker 2>Right, right.
00:31:56 --> 00:32:02 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, dead Kids is great and, like I said, it's all about the dancing scene and the lightning strikes song.
00:32:02 --> 00:32:03 <v Speaker 2>It's just fantastic.
00:32:03 --> 00:32:14 <v Speaker 2>Then I've got Dead In Drive In, which is one of my favs, and and Frog Dreaming to round out the week, which is not really horror, but I think it's.
00:32:14 --> 00:32:18 <v Speaker 2>It's got a nice Halloweeny kind of light vibe to it.
00:32:18 --> 00:32:21 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, both of those films directed by Brian Trenchard-Smiths.
00:32:22 --> 00:32:23 <v Speaker 2>You were getting there, yeah.
00:32:24 --> 00:32:28 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I enjoyed Frog Dreaming when I first saw it, and I do have it in my collection.
00:32:28 --> 00:32:32 <v Speaker 1>I started seeing Drive In, sorry Dead In Drive In, but that's the thing though.
00:32:32 --> 00:32:35 <v Speaker 1>I've had some of these movies for so, for so long.
00:32:35 --> 00:32:45 <v Speaker 1>It's like I should have watched them by now, but knowing that I have the Osboye episodes it's like I might as well just wait until we get to the episode on them and then watch them for the first time.
00:32:45 --> 00:32:47 <v Speaker 2>So yeah, yeah, I've got the.
00:32:47 --> 00:32:49 <v Speaker 2>I don't have it on.
00:32:49 --> 00:32:53 <v Speaker 2>I don't think it's been released in 4K yet, but I've got the Arrow video version of Dead In Drive.
00:32:53 --> 00:32:54 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I have.
00:32:54 --> 00:32:57 <v Speaker 2>It's actually really good yeah it's got lots of extras and stuff like that.
00:32:57 --> 00:32:57 <v Speaker 2>It's great.
00:32:57 --> 00:33:06 <v Speaker 2>I just wanted to take a short break and thank you all for listening.

00:33:32 --> 00:33:37 <v Speaker 2>Once again, thanks for listening and let's get back to the episode.
00:33:37 --> 00:33:48 <v Speaker 2>So what do you got after your next slot?
00:33:49 --> 00:33:56 <v Speaker 1>Well, I have Patrick on my list as well, the original Patrick, and that I also have first on that list as well.
00:33:56 --> 00:34:00 <v Speaker 1>Also, I have a long weekend on there too.
00:34:00 --> 00:34:02 <v Speaker 2>OK, there you go yeah.
00:34:02 --> 00:34:05 <v Speaker 1>Which is great film Dark Age.
00:34:05 --> 00:34:07 <v Speaker 1>That's what I have in there as well.
00:34:07 --> 00:34:34 <v Speaker 1>That's another one where that has I appreciate more the times I see it because, like I think, at first time I watched it I think, oh yeah, it's kind of like a standard killer croc movie, but there's a lot of interesting things to it and it's very rare to see a killer animal movie where in the third act the main characters, despite the animal in question having killed people, they actually try to protect the animal from poachers.
00:34:38 --> 00:34:40 <v Speaker 2>It's, and this movie as well.
00:34:40 --> 00:34:42 <v Speaker 2>They actually kill a child.
00:34:42 --> 00:34:46 <v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Not in real life, of course, but but just in the movie.
00:34:46 --> 00:34:47 <v Speaker 2>It's quite.
00:34:47 --> 00:34:52 <v Speaker 1>I think that was like when they showed that scene in Not Quite Hollywood.
00:34:52 --> 00:35:07 <v Speaker 1>I thought that scene was horrific the first time, Like I knew I had to see it, because if you're going to show a scene where a kid gets eaten by a crocodile, like you know, and that's going to get me interested to watch the film, especially the scene in particular and how it's done was just terrifying.
00:35:08 --> 00:35:16 <v Speaker 1>It is yeah, then I guess this one this was what Marcy and I put on our list and I get this is another one.
00:35:16 --> 00:35:27 <v Speaker 1>You could question wherever it's a horror film, but I would say it definitely can be on this list because it's more about the horrors of the real world more than anything.
00:35:27 --> 00:35:30 <v Speaker 1>So we put down the Nightingale.
00:35:30 --> 00:35:31 <v Speaker 2>Oh, I haven't seen that.
00:35:31 --> 00:35:32 <v Speaker 2>What's it like?
00:35:32 --> 00:35:34 <v Speaker 1>It is very full on.
00:35:34 --> 00:36:00 <v Speaker 1>It's very unflinching about like how, with how Irish immigrants were treated by the British when they moved here, but also how indigenous Australians were treated by by colonization as well, and especially because it's said in Tasmania where you know, at the time all indigenous tribes were basically wiped out from the island.
00:36:00 --> 00:36:00 <v Speaker 1>Like it's.
00:36:00 --> 00:36:02 <v Speaker 1>It's a very hard film.
00:36:02 --> 00:36:17 <v Speaker 1>It is very dark in terms of the subject matter and also the very first 15 minutes of it are pretty full on in terms because you know there's sexual assault and a couple of other things as well.
00:36:17 --> 00:36:28 <v Speaker 1>But once you get past all that, I won't say the film gets fun, but it is with the main character going on a path for revenge, so it is very satisfying in that way.
00:36:28 --> 00:36:34 <v Speaker 1>So it is a very full on film, but it is a very rewarding and important one.
00:36:34 --> 00:36:40 <v Speaker 1>And speaking of more real world horrors, snow Town is the next one.
00:36:40 --> 00:36:42 <v Speaker 2>Oh well, I nearly put that on the list.
00:36:42 --> 00:36:48 <v Speaker 2>It was sitting on the edge of my list for a while and because that would be another first watch for me, so I'm going to have to really make sure I watch.
00:36:48 --> 00:36:52 <v Speaker 2>I can't believe, when I put this list together, how many I hadn't watched.
00:36:52 --> 00:36:59 <v Speaker 2>I feel a bit bad having an Australian podcast and missing these movies, but then it makes more interesting when I do them down the road.
00:36:59 --> 00:37:01 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, so Well, that's the thing.
00:37:01 --> 00:37:30 <v Speaker 1>Like, australia has this thing about making really dark and gritty crime films, whether it be Snow Town or Chopper Even though, yeah, they kind of polar opposite, because Chopper has a bit of dark humor in it as well but something like Snow Town or the Nightingale or, more recently, the Stranger with Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris, like these, are kind of crime or historical films that are just so dark in this subject matter.
00:37:30 --> 00:37:46 <v Speaker 1>And being that Snow Town is based on a true story about the Snow Town murders, the bodies in the barrel for those who don't know, it is pretty full on and Daniel Henshel in the film is terrifying.
00:37:46 --> 00:37:50 <v Speaker 1>He gives a very unsettling performance in that film.
00:37:50 --> 00:37:51 <v Speaker 2>OK, interesting.
00:37:51 --> 00:37:56 <v Speaker 2>That's something that's been on my list for a while and definitely will have to catch up with it.
00:37:57 --> 00:38:10 <v Speaker 1>And finally, just to have a bit of levity after two very exciting maybe hitting Ozzy horror films, we have the horror comedy Little Monsters with Lupita Nyong'o and Josh Gad.
00:38:10 --> 00:38:12 <v Speaker 1>The excellent that.
00:38:12 --> 00:38:13 <v Speaker 1>It's a lot of fun.
00:38:13 --> 00:38:20 <v Speaker 1>I went to the I think it was like the centerpiece screening here at the Melbourne International Film Festival and it is a lot of fun.
00:38:20 --> 00:38:42 <v Speaker 1>Like it doesn't do anything too new in terms of bringing anything new to the zombie genre, but it is a lot of fun and the cast are all great, the kids are great in it as well and it's kind of basically like to see how these adults have tried to protect these kids and shelter them from a zombie attack.
00:38:42 --> 00:38:46 <v Speaker 1>It's silly but it's a lot of fun.
00:38:46 --> 00:38:47 <v Speaker 2>OK, when did that?
00:38:47 --> 00:38:49 <v Speaker 2>Is that a recent, very recent film?
00:38:49 --> 00:38:51 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think when did I see it at the film?
00:38:51 --> 00:38:54 <v Speaker 1>I think it was like 2019.
00:38:54 --> 00:38:54 <v Speaker 1>I saw that.
00:38:55 --> 00:38:57 <v Speaker 2>OK, ok, interesting, I'll have to.
00:38:57 --> 00:38:59 <v Speaker 2>I'll go to make sure I get your list.
00:38:59 --> 00:39:01 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, and put it in the show notes.
00:39:01 --> 00:39:02 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, so we can.
00:39:02 --> 00:39:04 <v Speaker 2>We can have a look at this set of stuff as well.
00:39:04 --> 00:39:05 <v Speaker 2>So that's great.
00:39:05 --> 00:39:06 <v Speaker 2>That's a good bunch of movies there.
00:39:07 --> 00:39:09 <v Speaker 1>Oh, definitely, definitely yeah, yeah.
00:39:09 --> 00:39:19 <v Speaker 2>And continuing on with my Brian Trenchard Smith little bit with Turkey Shoot, which is probably one of my favorite movies that he's yes, For a time.
00:39:19 --> 00:39:28 <v Speaker 2>That's a great movie, it's so good and of course it has some actors that are probably in most of his movies and actors that have turned up in heaps of other movies as well.
00:39:29 --> 00:39:34 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, Like it has, who we like to call on the Osprey cast, stupid sexy Roger Ward.
00:39:34 --> 00:39:35 <v Speaker 1>That's right, that damn sexy.
00:39:35 --> 00:39:37 <v Speaker 1>Roger Ward, as I like to call him.
00:39:37 --> 00:39:40 <v Speaker 1>He's been in a lot of movies.
00:39:40 --> 00:39:42 <v Speaker 1>We've covered on the show up to that point and he has.
00:39:42 --> 00:39:51 <v Speaker 1>But Turkey Shoot's an interesting one because, again, that was one where I kept hearing for years like, oh, this movie is like one of the worst Australian films ever made.
00:39:51 --> 00:39:54 <v Speaker 1>But then when I actually sat down to watch it, I've had an absolute blast with it.
00:39:54 --> 00:40:00 <v Speaker 1>I thought it was so fun, so over the top and so violent as well.
00:40:00 --> 00:40:22 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know, like everyone says, it's effectively the most dangerous game or whatever that movie was called and it's exactly, you know, but those sort of movies are great anyway, yeah, and I think you are meant to be, because I think when we were putting our episodes, the list together for the Osprey cast, I think you said oh, if you guys do Turkey Shoot on the show, definitely give me a call.
00:40:22 --> 00:40:25 <v Speaker 1>And I think, that is coming up soon, so you have to watch that.
00:40:25 --> 00:40:26 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's 1982.
00:40:26 --> 00:40:27 <v Speaker 2>So that must be pretty close.
00:40:28 --> 00:40:30 <v Speaker 1>So you have to watch that plus four of them.
00:40:30 --> 00:40:31 <v Speaker 2>That's all right.
00:40:31 --> 00:40:31 <v Speaker 2>Give me the list.
00:40:31 --> 00:40:34 <v Speaker 2>Give me the list and give me time and I'll give it.
00:40:34 --> 00:40:37 <v Speaker 1>Definitely, we'll let you know when it comes to that Sounds great Sounds great.
00:40:38 --> 00:40:49 <v Speaker 2>After Turkey Shoot, I've got Rogue Games, which is once again one of my favorite movies, and of course, anything with Jamie Lee Curtis in it is always good as far as I'm concerned, although I haven't seen Haunted Mansion yet, you've seen it.
00:40:49 --> 00:40:49 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was.
00:40:49 --> 00:40:52 <v Speaker 1>It was okay, like it's like.
00:40:52 --> 00:41:00 <v Speaker 1>It's kind of more average but above average, like it's okay, but definitely one that you don't necessarily need to go out to the cinema to see.
00:41:00 --> 00:41:01 <v Speaker 1>It's kind of like.
00:41:01 --> 00:41:10 <v Speaker 1>I enjoyed the sort of the sort of the kid friendly horror vibe to it, but yeah, I think they could have done a bit more with it, to be honest.
00:41:10 --> 00:41:16 <v Speaker 2>Okay, my daughter, who's a big Disney fan and has and well, I love it as well the actual ride itself.
00:41:16 --> 00:41:23 <v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, she says there's so many throwbacks to the ride and the movie and stuff like that, which is interesting as well.
00:41:23 --> 00:41:28 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, so anything she's in is great, including True Lies, but I can't put it in this list.
00:41:28 --> 00:41:44 <v Speaker 2>Then, after Rogue Games, I've got the tunnel, which I just bought, the Blu-ray from, the special Blu-ray from Umbrella, which I'm really looking forward to getting into, because another one that's been off my radar, that needs to be on my radar, which is really, have you seen it?
00:41:45 --> 00:41:59 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I remember when that movie came out, because it's release strategy, it was crowdfunded or something it was crowdfunded, but it was a film where the filmmakers allowed it to be put on torrent sites to be down right that's right.
00:41:59 --> 00:42:02 <v Speaker 1>Yes, because they wanted the movie to get out there like that.
00:42:02 --> 00:42:03 <v Speaker 1>Obviously you know other.
00:42:03 --> 00:42:17 <v Speaker 1>They did have like distribution stuff like that, but I think at the time I don't know if this was before or afterwards they were like oh well, it's probably gonna be downloaded online just let everyone have it anyway, yeah just let anyone have it anyway.
00:42:17 --> 00:42:20 <v Speaker 1>So they were like one of the first Filmmakers to kinda dislike.
00:42:20 --> 00:42:25 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's just put on torrent sites for everyone to watch yeah, I'm after the tunnel.
00:42:25 --> 00:42:33 <v Speaker 2>Then I've got wolf creek, cuz I just love that and that's Probably like it's probably one of the bestest train horror movies made.
00:42:33 --> 00:42:41 <v Speaker 2>It is a horror movie, I think, and and it's just, it's jump on a jr, it's greatest things, I think.
00:42:42 --> 00:42:58 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, like he is terrifying in the movie and I always keep telling people all the time, especially like Friends of mine from overseas I can't tell like seeing john jarrett in that movie would be the equivalent of people seeing tim allen In a horror film.
00:42:58 --> 00:43:10 <v Speaker 1>That's what it was like for us, especially for years, cuz like I knew john jarrett when I was younger was an actor, but I kind of primarily knew him for his Hosting gig on better homes and gardens for so many years.
00:43:10 --> 00:43:16 <v Speaker 1>So see him as a serial killer in a movie was definitely quite a whiplash experience.
00:43:16 --> 00:43:20 <v Speaker 2>yeah I wasn't a biggest fan of war, creek to.
00:43:20 --> 00:43:22 <v Speaker 2>I thought it was, almost I wouldn't.
00:43:22 --> 00:43:29 <v Speaker 2>It's not a parody of the first one, but almost felt like it because it was so played up and I don't know what the third one's gonna be like at all.
00:43:30 --> 00:43:35 <v Speaker 1>I kind of like I can definitely see that with the second film, but I think I sort of come around with.
00:43:35 --> 00:43:57 <v Speaker 1>The idea is that the second film is kind of more in tone with, say, texas chainsaw massacre, where it's definitely much more over the top, with more dark humor and also, you know, it's great mclean had more money Compared to the first and just basically just went all out to make it as over the top as possible so it's got that great same with the cops right oh yeah.
00:43:59 --> 00:44:00 <v Speaker 2>Which is really good yeah, I think it's.
00:44:01 --> 00:44:06 <v Speaker 1>If you kind of see, in that kind of mold is a texas chainsaw massacre to, it tends to work a lot better yeah.
00:44:07 --> 00:44:20 <v Speaker 2>After wolf creek I've got the one, the movie I just did last episode which is the babadook, which I really enjoyed and that was the first watch for me doing it for the podcast, so that was was a lot of fun.
00:44:20 --> 00:44:30 <v Speaker 2>It was interesting having a guest on that on that podcast that send all things that are paranormal and she bought some interesting to the takes to the movie is quite interesting.
00:44:31 --> 00:44:50 <v Speaker 1>I did listen to that episode and it was a great episode, by the way, and I loved hearing her perspective on the whole thing because, like I guess with me, with the babadook Is like I guess I kind of took it literally like, oh yeah, it's just not really a creature, is this, you know, manifestation of her depression, guilt and also her loss.
00:44:50 --> 00:45:09 <v Speaker 1>But now that I listen to like, yeah, now I can definitely see the point of people say it's a literal creature, but the way how she sort of your guests talked about it, it was really fast today, that was a really good episode it's interesting because I'm not usually someone that Always little bit cynical sort of stuff.
00:45:09 --> 00:45:12 <v Speaker 2>so I'm sorry if you're listening and I'm just me.
00:45:14 --> 00:45:16 <v Speaker 2>I was a bit cynical but I thought it was.
00:45:16 --> 00:45:48 <v Speaker 2>I thought, no, I've got to be open minded to this conversation and respectful and and you know, and I actually thought it was interesting, she made a lot of points in that I thought, you know, gave me pause to kind of think about things and think, okay, just it's interesting, I'm looking forward to actually watching it again, yeah, after that episode and talking to her and sort of probably having A different view of the movie which we get out definitely after the babadook, I've got lake mongo yes, of course, which we spoke about.
00:45:49 --> 00:46:00 <v Speaker 2>And then I've got the last way, which I just got from umbrella, and I haven't watched this for Far out 30 years, something like that.
00:46:00 --> 00:46:05 <v Speaker 2>I was watching the trailer for today because I was looking through my list of like I'm missing something.
00:46:05 --> 00:46:13 <v Speaker 2>There's something in the back of my head and I thought, oh, and I just went in and went and had a look at all my blue rays, nothing other.
00:46:13 --> 00:46:15 <v Speaker 2>That's it, it's the last way.
00:46:15 --> 00:46:20 <v Speaker 2>So I took something else out and put that in and Really looking forward to watching.
00:46:20 --> 00:46:21 <v Speaker 2>Have you seen?
00:46:21 --> 00:46:28 <v Speaker 1>I haven't seen the last way for quite a while but I didn't mean to pick up the 4k Blue ray of that, so definitely will very soon.
00:46:28 --> 00:46:39 <v Speaker 1>But yeah, that one, I'm very much looking forward to check it out again because I do love Peter wears work, so Definitely it's not, I'm not sure it's true.
00:46:39 --> 00:46:42 <v Speaker 2>Like you know a lot, I think a lot of these movies I wouldn't.
00:46:42 --> 00:46:46 <v Speaker 2>You can't compare them like my normal Halloween list.
00:46:46 --> 00:47:06 <v Speaker 2>I'm very cliche, I'm probably watching half a dozen friday the 13th and all that sort of crap, right, these movies, most of these movies, are really that sort of thing, right, very different sort of take, and I'm not sure if any of these movies here would actually fit in to a normal Halloween list.
00:47:06 --> 00:47:17 <v Speaker 2>You know, maybe, maybe wolf creek or something like next of kin, one of those sort of movies, but interesting.
00:47:17 --> 00:47:19 <v Speaker 2>So yes, I last way looking forward to that one.
00:47:19 --> 00:47:21 <v Speaker 2>So what do you got?
00:47:21 --> 00:47:22 <v Speaker 1>I get into the final three.
00:47:22 --> 00:47:29 <v Speaker 1>For my ones I got paid on the list as well okay, I nearly put that in.
00:47:29 --> 00:47:47 <v Speaker 1>Well, the trailer yeah, cuz must be a big fans of it, and I mean you can't go wrong with a very silly horror film where basically the premise is sharks in the supermarket and it's from the director of cuts, so that kind of tells you everything will be double them oh, yeah, definitely.
00:47:47 --> 00:47:49 <v Speaker 1>It's very, very silly but enjoyable.
00:47:49 --> 00:47:53 <v Speaker 1>I have the bubble on the list as well.
00:47:53 --> 00:47:56 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I also have the zombie film cargo.
00:47:57 --> 00:47:59 <v Speaker 2>Okay, I've seen that one, but I haven't seen the movie.
00:47:59 --> 00:48:06 <v Speaker 1>That looks interesting yeah, cuz it's the adaptation of the short film, I believe that one that's film at the top.
00:48:06 --> 00:48:14 <v Speaker 1>That's film festival a couple years ago when that was on, so they made a film version of that and what it's pretty.
00:48:14 --> 00:48:21 <v Speaker 1>It's a really interesting story about a father protecting his daughter and trying to, cuz he's been bitten by a zombie.
00:48:21 --> 00:48:27 <v Speaker 1>He knows he's gonna become one, so he has to try to find someone who could look after his order before he's turns.
00:48:27 --> 00:48:43 <v Speaker 1>And it's a pretty emotionally charge Dory, but it's a really effective one as well and also as a zombie film it's really good as well to check that out next on the list is from the directors of Hundred bloody acres.
00:48:43 --> 00:48:45 <v Speaker 1>are there follow up film scare campaign?
00:48:45 --> 00:48:52 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, that one, I think not that many people know, but definitely seek it out because it's a really fun slasher.
00:48:53 --> 00:48:54 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've heard of it.
00:48:54 --> 00:48:54 <v Speaker 2>I haven't seen it.
00:48:54 --> 00:48:57 <v Speaker 2>God, I'm really killing my creator and I have 70, least.
00:49:00 --> 00:49:14 <v Speaker 1>And it features a lot of like, like it has secret fort, and then there it also has Cassandra from Wolf Creek, olivia Dejean from recently in Elvis, but also shoes in the visit and a few other films as well.
00:49:14 --> 00:49:20 <v Speaker 1>Oh, and better watch out another Australian American horror film that I definitely recommend.
00:49:20 --> 00:49:29 <v Speaker 1>That almost my mind is that one is yeah, so definitely go into without knowing too much, because scare campaigns are really good.
00:49:29 --> 00:49:32 <v Speaker 1>Like it's a really good check that one out.
00:49:32 --> 00:49:34 <v Speaker 1>I also had nightmares on the list.
00:49:34 --> 00:49:35 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, it's good.
00:49:39 --> 00:49:41 <v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is about that movie.
00:49:41 --> 00:49:50 <v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's because I remember the ad campaign when I was young, yeah, but I couldn't see the movie cuz it's like 1980.
00:49:50 --> 00:50:03 <v Speaker 2>I would have been able to see the movie 68, yeah, I would have been old enough, for sure, but for some reason Maybe I wasn't as interested in horror then but, I do remember the ad on tv and stuff, but I just got this thing about that movie.
00:50:03 --> 00:50:07 <v Speaker 2>It's so Stupid it is.
00:50:08 --> 00:50:14 <v Speaker 1>But what I kind of love about that film is you can do it as a double feature with the Spanish slasher film pieces.
00:50:14 --> 00:50:20 <v Speaker 1>Yes, absolutely or even one that must be my big fans of blood rage.
00:50:20 --> 00:50:27 <v Speaker 1>It's that very heightened and very silly kind of slasher film that you don't really see that much anymore.
00:50:27 --> 00:50:33 <v Speaker 1>But it is so bonkers and just insane and hilarious that it's just so much fun.
00:50:34 --> 00:50:49 <v Speaker 1>The best thing about the nightmares trailer is I basically give away what happens at the end of the movie in the oh yeah, and doing like putting the trailers, like when I put ad trailers to the oslo cast and actually sit there and watch the trailers, I say to myself thank you so much.
00:50:49 --> 00:50:51 <v Speaker 1>The trailers at all, cuz these free.
00:50:51 --> 00:50:56 <v Speaker 1>The bloody trailers like literally show the entire movie and all the spoilers.
00:50:57 --> 00:50:59 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's, it's amazing, it's almost as bad luck.
00:50:59 --> 00:51:10 <v Speaker 2>It's very rare I watch movies, trailers these days of movies that I really want to go and see, because I find that, even more than the seventies and eighties, I think they give away more than movie.
00:51:10 --> 00:51:13 <v Speaker 2>And then, oh yeah, there's bits of the trailers.
00:51:13 --> 00:51:17 <v Speaker 2>We go, I just made that, make it like you see it in the movie.
00:51:17 --> 00:51:22 <v Speaker 2>I always think it's funny that there was that always, that that line in jason versus freddy.
00:51:22 --> 00:51:27 <v Speaker 2>What was it where the actress says jason versus freddy, place your bets.
00:51:27 --> 00:51:28 <v Speaker 2>Is it in the ad?
00:51:28 --> 00:51:29 <v Speaker 2>But it's never in.
00:51:29 --> 00:51:30 <v Speaker 2>It's not in the movie.
00:51:30 --> 00:51:34 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, they shot that just for the trailer.
00:51:34 --> 00:51:36 <v Speaker 2>Yes, I went after.
00:51:36 --> 00:51:44 <v Speaker 1>that is actually one of the Few that I can think of in terms of this particular genre the vampire film, blood vessel.
00:51:46 --> 00:51:48 <v Speaker 2>Okay, haven't heard of that one that one is.
00:51:48 --> 00:51:49 <v Speaker 1>Definitely seek that one out.
00:51:49 --> 00:51:50 <v Speaker 1>I think it's.
00:51:50 --> 00:51:55 <v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's still on shutter australia at the moment, but I think it's also on prime video as well.
00:51:55 --> 00:51:56 <v Speaker 1>It's an interesting movie.
00:51:56 --> 00:52:14 <v Speaker 1>I would say it's kind of a mixture of thirty days of night meets overlord, because it's set during world war two, where the survivors of a ship that got sunk during the war find this abandoned ship and they discovered that there's a vampire on it.
00:52:14 --> 00:52:23 <v Speaker 1>That kind of looks like the one from brand stoker's dracula, with the dracula's kind of full blown vampire design.
00:52:23 --> 00:52:35 <v Speaker 1>It's a really cool little movie, a little anticlimactic, but it's still really good and Still good, yeah, and it also has a robert taylor in it and also a naven phillips from wolf creek in it as well.
00:52:35 --> 00:52:42 <v Speaker 1>Next up is one that definitely I don't think a lot of people have heard of and it's one that I have to give a shout out to.
00:52:42 --> 00:52:45 <v Speaker 1>It's a film that came out last year.
00:52:45 --> 00:52:55 <v Speaker 1>It's a supernatural film called surrogate Okay, and this one I know is on to be, and it's a it's a custom racy who was also a wolf creek.
00:52:55 --> 00:53:01 <v Speaker 1>So I this bracket, I'm showing a lot of actors who are in wolf creek in other movie who would in other horror movies.
00:53:01 --> 00:53:03 <v Speaker 1>It's about this.
00:53:03 --> 00:53:06 <v Speaker 1>Some this woman play by kesty morassie.
00:53:06 --> 00:53:11 <v Speaker 1>She finds this person who is injured, tries to help them, but they died.
00:53:11 --> 00:53:20 <v Speaker 1>But the thing is what she realizes is that person had a ghost attached to him Like a spirit, and so now the ghost is attached itself to her.
00:53:20 --> 00:53:34 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, it definitely has sort of james, one type of vines, but it's actually a pretty cool little indy ozzie horror film and I kind of have to give it a shout out because the man who wrote a director to david welling was actually here.
00:53:34 --> 00:53:48 <v Speaker 1>He was my former mentor Because he I did a couple of short film classes back in the day with directing and screenwriting and he was the teacher on those and I also helped him out on a couple little projects and stuff.
00:53:48 --> 00:53:49 <v Speaker 1>So yeah, it's a.
00:53:49 --> 00:53:52 <v Speaker 1>So I have definitely not picking this movie due to that biases.
00:53:52 --> 00:53:57 <v Speaker 1>It's actually a surprisingly good little movie and I even I was pretty impressed by it.
00:53:57 --> 00:54:23 <v Speaker 1>And finally I have to Really I had to think about this because I think if it's going to be the last film of the month, it needs to have upset at Halloween, and there's very few Australian horror films that are set at Halloween, except for one, which is a film that I saw first, then introduced at the Marcy she absolutely loved it and that's the horror drama Boys in the Trains.
00:54:23 --> 00:54:33 <v Speaker 1>This one is kind of a little hard to find every now and again because it did get a cinema release and I did see it there, but it's never been released on physical media in Australia.
00:54:33 --> 00:54:37 <v Speaker 1>But I remember it was on Stan for a while.
00:54:37 --> 00:54:44 <v Speaker 1>I don't know if it still is or not, but I know like overseas it was on Netflix for a while and a few other places.
00:54:44 --> 00:54:55 <v Speaker 1>But it's a really cool sort of film that mixes horror drama, coming of age and it really fully embraces Halloween.
00:54:56 --> 00:54:57 <v Speaker 2>So that's your 31.
00:54:57 --> 00:55:00 <v Speaker 2>I think I've still a three to go, so I've got my final three to bring it home.
00:55:00 --> 00:55:03 <v Speaker 2>I've got a long weekend, so you can't not have that in the list.
00:55:03 --> 00:55:11 <v Speaker 2>I thought I'd get really super current because I've got it on order and hopefully I'll get it in October, which has talked to me, because I missed that in the cinemas.
00:55:11 --> 00:55:13 <v Speaker 2>It looks really good actually.
00:55:13 --> 00:55:16 <v Speaker 2>You've seen it, oh yeah.
00:55:16 --> 00:55:19 <v Speaker 1>I really enjoyed it a lot and it definitely does.
00:55:19 --> 00:55:29 <v Speaker 1>It is worthy of all the hype it's getting and it's great to see an Australian made horror film with a full blown Aussie cast, filmmakers and all that.
00:55:29 --> 00:55:30 <v Speaker 1>That's only done pretty well.
00:55:30 --> 00:55:35 <v Speaker 1>It's done pretty well here in Australia, but it's done better elsewhere, including the US.
00:55:36 --> 00:55:42 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I didn't go as far with the collector set of getting the hand prop and all that sort of stuff, but looks good.
00:55:42 --> 00:55:46 <v Speaker 2>And then I'm rounding out my whole 31 days with the loved ones.
00:55:46 --> 00:55:46 <v Speaker 1>Yes.
00:55:48 --> 00:55:48 <v Speaker 2>Again.
00:55:48 --> 00:55:49 <v Speaker 2>Just such a great movie.
00:55:49 --> 00:55:50 <v Speaker 2>I really love that movie.
00:55:50 --> 00:55:56 <v Speaker 2>It's probably one of the better villains in Australian cinema history.
00:55:56 --> 00:55:58 <v Speaker 2>She's just something else.
00:55:58 --> 00:56:02 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, lolo is an icon and it's too bad.
00:56:02 --> 00:56:04 <v Speaker 1>Well, I'm not going to say what happens.
00:56:04 --> 00:56:09 <v Speaker 1>In case those who haven't seen it, let's just say we should have had more and more sequels to this movie.
00:56:10 --> 00:56:13 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, and her creepy dad.
00:56:14 --> 00:56:18 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, john Brumpton, who I've actually met in real life and he's a really nice guy.
00:56:22 --> 00:56:22 <v Speaker 2>It's another one.
00:56:22 --> 00:56:31 <v Speaker 2>It's such a great movie and I think about a lot of these movies with the music and there's nothing like opening up with a movie.
00:56:31 --> 00:56:37 <v Speaker 2>That's a horror movie, with two people in a car listening to Lonesome loser by Little River Band on the right.
00:56:38 --> 00:56:51 <v Speaker 1>Yes, I love it when a film does that and also every time Casey Chambers, not pretty enough, plays Like anywhere, I just I mean I love the song already, but I just always think the loved ones every time I hear that song.
00:56:52 --> 00:56:54 <v Speaker 2>I can't hear it with anything else going in my head now.
00:56:54 --> 00:56:56 <v Speaker 2>If I hear it anywhere.
00:56:56 --> 00:56:57 <v Speaker 2>That's the first thing I think of.
00:56:57 --> 00:56:58 <v Speaker 2>Is that movie a few?
00:56:58 --> 00:56:59 <v Speaker 2>That missed out for me?
00:56:59 --> 00:57:01 <v Speaker 2>I was really keen to try and get.
00:57:01 --> 00:57:06 <v Speaker 2>Have you seen One Night Stand from like 1980 something?
00:57:07 --> 00:57:10 <v Speaker 1>No, but it is on the the docket for the Osprey car.
00:57:10 --> 00:57:13 <v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, which is great.
00:57:13 --> 00:57:15 <v Speaker 2>I love that, and I was going to pair it with these final hours.
00:57:15 --> 00:57:16 <v Speaker 2>Have you seen that?
00:57:17 --> 00:57:18 <v Speaker 1>Oh, I had seen that yeah.
00:57:18 --> 00:57:23 <v Speaker 2>These final hours is very much, a, very much a down a movie, in a way.
00:57:23 --> 00:57:23 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah.
00:57:24 --> 00:57:27 <v Speaker 2>But it's a really well made film.
00:57:27 --> 00:57:35 <v Speaker 2>I was keen to get those two in, but I really just couldn't find anywhere to put them, so it was a bit of a bummer.
00:57:35 --> 00:57:39 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, is there anything you missed out on that you didn't want to miss out on.
00:57:39 --> 00:57:57 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, I would also say like another kind of real horror type of thing, or at least horrors of the real world, is a hounds of love, which is not particularly based on a true story but it's inspired by true events and it's a really dark and disturbing film.
00:57:57 --> 00:57:59 <v Speaker 1>So that would definitely be on the list.
00:57:59 --> 00:58:04 <v Speaker 1>Better Watch Out, which I did mention before, good like.
00:58:04 --> 00:58:13 <v Speaker 1>It's definitely made by Americans but it was shot here and outside of actually outside of Virginia Madsen and Patrick Warburton who were in that film.
00:58:13 --> 00:58:21 <v Speaker 1>All the young cast are Aussie actors and a lot of them have gone on to do big things and it's a really fun movie.
00:58:21 --> 00:58:26 <v Speaker 1>Relic is another one, I think that's a really great yeah that's a really strong one.
00:58:27 --> 00:58:33 <v Speaker 1>Killing Ground is another one that I thought was really good Dark and disturbing, but pretty good.
00:58:33 --> 00:58:40 <v Speaker 1>And just a little look here on my letterbox just to see if anything sort of pops up oh yeah, I'm dead.
00:58:40 --> 00:58:41 <v Speaker 1>The Sparrow Brothers.
00:58:42 --> 00:58:46 <v Speaker 2>That was something I was going to have on my list as well, and I couldn't find room yet.
00:58:48 --> 00:58:51 <v Speaker 1>That's what I definitely recommend everyone to check out as well.
00:58:51 --> 00:58:56 <v Speaker 1>And I get Sissy, which is another recent one.
00:58:56 --> 00:59:10 <v Speaker 1>That's really good and I guess, finally in terms of my list, actually, a film that I actually watched at the Melbourne International Film Festival recently is a film called Late Night with the Devil.
00:59:10 --> 00:59:16 <v Speaker 1>That's the Kane Brothers who made Underbody Acres and Scare.
00:59:16 --> 00:59:33 <v Speaker 1>Campaign is their third film and it's sort of like well, it's set in America and it stars David Desch-Malchian, who's kind of been popping up everywhere in a lot of things over the last few years, like as that guy kind of actor in American films and he's the leader of this one.
00:59:33 --> 00:59:44 <v Speaker 1>And what's cool about this film is that it's a it takes place in the 1970s and he's the host of like a kind of a Johnny Carson, don Lane type of talk show.
00:59:44 --> 00:59:56 <v Speaker 1>So he does a show on Halloween and decides to have an exorcism done live during an episode and it's a lot of fun and he's at.
00:59:56 --> 01:00:05 <v Speaker 1>David Desch-Malchian is great at it and it was really cool to kind of see like the Kane Brothers kind of progressing more as filmmakers with this one.
01:00:06 --> 01:00:07 <v Speaker 2>They made some good movies.
01:00:08 --> 01:00:13 <v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, and also it's set in Halloween, so it could, it's so you could have fit in.
01:00:13 --> 01:00:14 <v Speaker 1>I could have.
01:00:14 --> 01:00:18 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it hasn't been released yet, so I figured I'd just go for once and have it been released as a.
01:00:18 --> 01:00:20 <v Speaker 1>I mean that have been released, yeah.
01:00:20 --> 01:00:22 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I am.
01:00:22 --> 01:00:23 <v Speaker 2>I'm waiting for someone.
01:00:23 --> 01:00:30 <v Speaker 2>I'm sure someone will tell me I should have put Bad Boy Bubby somewhere in my house because for some reason everyone likes that movie.
01:00:31 --> 01:00:40 <v Speaker 1>It kind of surprises me, like I mean, I haven't seen the movie for a long time and I don't think it's a bad film at all, like it is a good movie, but I I always find it weird.
01:00:40 --> 01:00:42 <v Speaker 1>It's like, oh yeah, bad Boy Bubby, that's a great movie, it was like.
01:00:42 --> 01:00:44 <v Speaker 1>But that movie is like so weird and creepy.
01:00:45 --> 01:00:48 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, so I get people saying when are you going to put that on your, do that on your podcast?
01:00:48 --> 01:00:49 <v Speaker 2>I'm like well, monday.
01:00:50 --> 01:00:51 <v Speaker 1>But then I also get.
01:00:51 --> 01:00:52 <v Speaker 2>I also.
01:00:52 --> 01:00:55 <v Speaker 2>I also get people ask me if I'm ever going to do Crocodile Dundee.
01:00:56 --> 01:01:02 <v Speaker 1>So I mean that is an obvious choice that you don't necessarily need to do.
01:01:02 --> 01:01:04 <v Speaker 1>Just I mean you don't need to do right away.
01:01:05 --> 01:01:08 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, I did Young Einstein, so is this as much chance I'll do?
01:01:08 --> 01:01:14 <v Speaker 2>But then I think Young Einstein is definitely a better movie than Crocodile Dundee as far as I'm concerned.
01:01:14 --> 01:01:15 <v Speaker 2>Cool, cool.
01:01:15 --> 01:01:17 <v Speaker 2>So I'll do the usual thing.
01:01:17 --> 01:01:21 <v Speaker 2>Where can people find you and Marcy, I suppose?
01:01:21 --> 01:01:28 <v Speaker 1>Well, if people want to find both mine and Marcy's shows, they're all on the super network, on all podcast streaming services, everywhere.
01:01:28 --> 01:01:30 <v Speaker 1>We have quite a number of shows.
01:01:30 --> 01:01:44 <v Speaker 1>We have the super podcast, which is the, the flagship show for the network, and then we have all of our other spinoff shows, like the Osloy cast, which we've mentioned before, which is on our podcast on Osloytation Cinema.
01:01:44 --> 01:01:51 <v Speaker 1>Then we have the Kingzone podcast, which is our podcast on the film and TV adaptations of Stephen King.
01:01:51 --> 01:01:57 <v Speaker 1>Then we have podcasters of horror, which is our podcast on horror anthology film and TV shows.
01:01:57 --> 01:02:05 <v Speaker 1>Then we also have probably our one of our most beloved series the two be Tuesdays podcast, which you have been a guest on before.
01:02:06 --> 01:02:06 <v Speaker 2>You have.
01:02:06 --> 01:02:07 <v Speaker 2>That was great.
01:02:07 --> 01:02:08 <v Speaker 2>What did we do without warning?
01:02:09 --> 01:02:11 <v Speaker 1>We did without warning, so that was a fun one.
01:02:11 --> 01:02:20 <v Speaker 1>Well, some of those shows have been on hiatus for a little bit, but we are bringing those back, particularly Osloyt cast, which I'm excited to get back to.
01:02:21 --> 01:02:39 <v Speaker 2>I don't know how you have time because, like me, just doing this one is like getting an episode out every month is like full on work for me, oh yeah, and I've recently had an idea for a second podcast, not movie related at all but I'm like, how am I going to fit it in?
01:02:39 --> 01:02:42 <v Speaker 2>I'm going to try and fit it in.
01:02:42 --> 01:02:45 <v Speaker 2>I've got a great idea.
01:02:45 --> 01:02:50 <v Speaker 2>But I've got a good idea about doing a certain sort of music podcast.
01:02:50 --> 01:02:52 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, that should be interesting.
01:02:52 --> 01:02:54 <v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's more my passion.
01:02:54 --> 01:03:03 <v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, that's the thing, like I don't know how I manage it, sometimes like hosting five podcasts plus my, plus my solo podcast being versus the living dead.
01:03:03 --> 01:03:15 <v Speaker 1>But now I'm working on a seven show that's actually going to be a spin off to be versus living dead, but I can't divulge what that is right away, but it will be revealed very soon.
01:03:15 --> 01:03:18 <v Speaker 1>So, yeah, like seven shows.
01:03:18 --> 01:03:23 <v Speaker 2>I don't know how I fit it all in and you've got to try, and you've got to try and find a day job in there to bring it.
01:03:23 --> 01:03:28 <v Speaker 1>And I do, I work five nights a week, but I only work for like a few hours, like casually.
01:03:28 --> 01:03:28 <v Speaker 2>Yeah.
01:03:28 --> 01:03:32 <v Speaker 1>So I'm able to kind of fit the podcasting editing around it.
01:03:32 --> 01:03:34 <v Speaker 1>But yeah, it's pretty non stop.
01:03:34 --> 01:03:35 <v Speaker 1>I can tell you that.
01:03:37 --> 01:03:37 <v Speaker 2>All right.
01:03:37 --> 01:03:40 <v Speaker 2>Well, thanks very much for coming on the show.
01:03:40 --> 01:03:42 <v Speaker 2>It's great and this has been a fun episode.
01:03:42 --> 01:03:57 <v Speaker 2>I'm just I just thought it'd be fun to do and get out before Halloween, so I hope they'll get it out this weekend and and it might, you know, I mean, if anyone's listening, has got an idea or they want to Share their 30 if they can come up with 31 Australian movies for Halloween.
01:03:57 --> 01:03:57 <v Speaker 2>Love to hear.
01:03:59 --> 01:04:04 <v Speaker 1>Or at least if our, the ones on our list like give people suggestions to check out too.
01:04:04 --> 01:04:06 <v Speaker 2>All right, thanks so much for coming on.
01:04:06 --> 01:04:08 <v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, marcy, you couldn't make it.
01:04:08 --> 01:04:11 <v Speaker 2>Hope you're feeling better and and we'll talk real soon.
01:04:11 --> 01:04:13 <v Speaker 2>Thank you everyone.
