This juicy Ozzie horror about kidnapped women forced to participate in a deadly game of cat and mouse with masked psychos, is a robustly violent throwback to the glory days of 80's slasher movies and is an entertainingly blood soaked calling card for director Tony D'Aquino. What it lacks in backstory it more than makes up for with a cannily gross bloodlust all delivered with gory glee and classic ozploitation nastiness (a face cleaved off is a rubbery effect that you won't quickly forget). Over one hundred litres of fake blood was used by the crew during filming which took place on location at Bywong, an historic mining village just outside of Canberra. It had the working title of Killer Instinct.
