A sort of sequel to Don's Party with John Hargreaves and Briony Behets is middle class types recovering from some couple swapping and an abortion by heading to the country, where they whinge, make a mess, shoot things.
An eerie, effective movie that one has to be careful not to overpraise or else you might cause false expectations but is extremely good. Beautifully shot. Wonderful use of sound. Editing. So on.
Everett de Roche scripts often had well rounded female characters compared to others in the genre - the influence of his wife? He did have six daughters or something.
The quality of this gave a false picture of what Colin Eggleston movies would be like from this point on. (There's quite a few Aussie directors who fall into the "one good movie only" category.)
