Awe-inspiring, brutal and stunning, Wake in Fright is the story of John Grant, a bonded teacher who arrives in the rough outback mining town of Bundanyabba planning to stay overnight before catching the plane to Sydney. But his one night stretches to five and he plunges headlong toward his own destruction. When the alcohol-induced mist lifts, the educated John Grant is no more. Instead there is a self-loathing man in a desolate wasteland, dirty, red-eyed, sitting against a tree and looking at a rifle with one bullet left...

$19.98 (AUD) The lure of paradise and the promise of uncrowded waves. A bunch of mates set off on a surf charter to the exotic Maldives. The one and only rule - leave your troubles and your girlfriends behind in order to focus on the adventure ahead. But rules are made to be broken and when beautiful young Sam steps aboard, the boat soon begins to rock. Flirtatious and attention seeking, Sam has the guys wrapped around her little finger, causing testosterone to boil over and friendships to splinter. Sexual tension, manipulation and deceit erupt into violence making way for a monster among them to rise and turn the dream vacation into a nightmare fight for survival. But on a boat in the middle of nowhere you can't run and you can't hide. | $19.99 (AUD) AFI Award winning filmmaker Tim Burstall captured Australia's attention with the loveable exploits of Stork and Alvin Purple, then knocked them off their feet with his searing portrait of disgruntled miners on the war-path in seminal 70s macho classic The Last Of The Knucklemen. Mining site foreman 'Tarzan' (Gerard Kennedy) is charged with the unenviable task of keeping his disparate crew of hard-drinking, foul-mouthed larrikins on the job and out of trouble. But clocked off the job, when boredom inevitably sets in, when sundry trips to the local pub and brothel will no longer suffice, the going gets tough and soon the tough get busy swinging fists and spitting teeth. Enter loud-mouth 'Pansy' (Mike Preston), a blustering bully of a miner who rubs everyone up the wrong way and thinks he can get away with it...but not if broad-shouldered boss 'Tarzan' has anything to do about it! | $38.99 (AUD) The film is set in a house occupied by a collection of social misfits. The main storyline is that of a strange musician's relationship with a girl, their drug use and his band. These events are surrounded by a chaotic myriad of sub-plots. A homicidal chainsaw maniac's lust for his machine and a T.V station's offer of money in return for a piece of the Skylab satellite that has fallen to earth are just two. | $19.99 (AUD) |
