Review of Wake in Fright (1971) by Bill B — 17 Oct 2013
Gritty old Ozploitation, featuring themes from Long Weekend and Fair Game. "The raw, sweaty 1971 film is not a pretty portrayal of life in the outback, where men are crude, hard-drinking mates with no ambition beyond rough-house fun.
" "This tale of sun-baked savagery has lost little of its audacity or ferocity while it languished unseen." The set-up is ten minutes too long.
