Would you believe I still haven't seen Undead? It's almost impossible for local films to get any sort of distribution within Australia because the power the larger cinema chains wield, I'm looking for it on DVD.

Hey Targangil...
U know that picnic at hanging rock shit is meant to be a true story right?
And you should see udead...true, kinda stupid, but it IS a zombie movie...it's meant to have had the biggest effects budget ever for an australian film, it pretty much shows too.

what was the budget, like 15 bucks?

Aussie movies are very under budget but they do tend to do a pretty good job with some very original ideas. Like Romper Stomper, Black Rock (true and terrible), Lantana etc. Not horror but still interesting.

I thought the undead was pretty good until all the Alien artifacts took over. That cop was pretty funny. Not a huge fan of Zombie films tho.

I forgot to add that Picnic at Hanging Rock is a true tale and the case is still open. I would LOVE to know what happened there.

There are some great australian films: Chopper, Two Hands & The Castle come to mind....can't think of any australian horror's though.

I'm from New Zealand and I must say thanks to mr peter jackson we have some classic horrors that hold up amongst the greatest of all time. If anyone here has not seen Braindead, Bad Taste, or Meet the Feebles do yourself a favour and see all three immediately! :)
