Review of Wake in Fright (1971) by Susan S — 15 Sep 2010
Highly disturbing, stone-cold flick that is easily amongst the best Australian output (despite being helmed by a Canadian). Just when you think it couldn't get any bleaker, any more horrific, it just keeps going and going and going.
One of the best performances from Donald Pleasance, I think. It's almost a horror film, except the terror stems from human behavior rather than something outlandish. I doubt it would inspire anyone to come down here, anyway.
