Honestly a pretty good Australian arthouse horror film.
The movie itself leans deeply on symbolism, subtext and interpretation so without giving anything else away I'll just say it's more than it may initially seem.
Currently cheaper than the regular Blu Ray and almost as cheap as the DVD currently
Probably explains the price drop
Good movie. It spooked me
This was actually a pretty spooky movie… without the needless gore and normal slasher type stuff. Cleverly written and well acted. For a low budget Australian film, it's actually pretty awesome now that I think about the scenes. Watch it at night at a higher volume… the sound effects are skin tingling :).
Smashes it ratings wise on Rotten Tomatoes… well worth the $7

I remember watching this high and being extremely creeped out 😅
Currently free to watch on ABC iView if you want to check it out before buying, or you don't care about 4K.
It was also parodied on the recent tree house of horror Simpsons episode.
