Snapshot (1979)
Apr 27, 2010Stalker Psycho-Thriller
Trashy Australian psycho-stalker film set in the world of fashion modelling that was bizarrely passed off as a copy of Halloween in the US

The Survivor (1981)

Ridiculous, splatter-heavy Australian-made film about a prison camp where prisoners are offered their freedom in a run while pursued by armed hunters
Second Time Lucky (1984)
Jan 25, 2003Adam and Eve Comedy
One of the most excruciatingly painful films ever made - a softcore comedy in which God and The Devil make a bet to replay the Garden of Eden by reincarnating Adam and Eve throughout history. Filled with ghastly over-the-top performances and much eye-rolling innuendo
Patrick (2013)

Turkey Shoot (2014)
Jul 26, 2015Human Hunting/Near Future Reality TV Show
Remake of the Ozploitation film where the original's Most Dangerous Game scenario set in a dystopian future is lamely rewritten as a reality tv show and another Hunger Games ripoff. The original was fairly terrible; this has a lack of conviction in most regards that makes it even worse
Girl at the Window (2022)
