Samantha Lang's Australian rural gothic, which premiered in the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, offers a few twists but id ultimately frustrating and pretentious due to Laura Jones' enigmatic and undernourished script. Go to Full Review Jon Popick Planet S Magazine Sep 10, 2005

Jan 26, 2019 You are an amazing woman, Pamela Rabe... See more Dec 30, 2016 Odd mix of characters, but Pamela Rabe is brilliant. Otto's character is annoying, but Otto holds her own in keeping her that way. Leaves a few things unanswered, but worth the ride.
