Fun-looking, Australian horror film has an intriguing trailer:

This trailer is spoilery, if you want a little less spoilers try the one in my post from 05-02-12 below.

I'm also waiting until Oct to watch this one.

This was one interesting, disturbing and fresh horror flick. WOW!

Thanks to the guys here who recommended it. High School torture porn? Oh yeah! And I don't mean that in a "dirty old man" way.

Yankeeman you may like this one.

The girl was nerdy/ugly when you saw her in the school environment but if she just had that confidence and did herself up like at home she'd be the most popular gal in school.

Not a lot of "scary" moments but plenty of tension and discomfort blended with excellent pacing and a very fitting score/soundtrack to back it all up! The was a great blind buy and highly recommended for any region B or region free fans of the psycho stalker chick horror flicks

The picture quality was top notch all the way! It had a sepia palette emphasizing a warm primaries, yellows and browns. The level of detail was just staggering, not a skin texture or fabric that was smoothed over or appeared soft. The opening scene of the sun on the paved road and dried grass to the sides there is just fantastic definition of every rock and blade of dried grass. This continues with the first shot of the father and son in the vehicle, every pore and bit of stubble perfectly presented and defined which continues throughout the film.

The audio track is not overly dynamic but dialogue was in good balance with the rest of the spectrum and the music/score were just a perfect fit. Somewhat minimal activity from the surrounds but overall a solid audio track well balanced and highly resolving. A few moments of LFE goodness as well!(

I posted on this over in the bluray forums but I guess I was the only one that saw it as no one else commented. Probably my favorite flick from October, just downright horrific fun! "Am I not pretty enough..."

Aw man people don't know what they're missing! One of the best of 2011 for sure. Or is that 2009?!

Thanx, but I am philosophically opposed to supporting the studio's B.S. region shtick.
If it wouldn't play on my Oppo 83, I am outta luck.

Are Oppo's still region free? Sorry haven't had one since the 971.

I wonder why this was never released on dvd in the US. Is high school bullying and violence is still taboo?

The BD-83 is not.
However, I have the 970 DVD player that is.

3 years after being the audience favorite at TIFF, this is getting a proper U.S release.
