Stars: Lauren Lofberg, Taylor Wiese, Kym Cramp, Brendan Donoghue, Jim Winton Porter | Written by Mike Green, Brien Kelly | Directed by Mike Green
When they’re not doing fantastic horror comedies, filmmakers down under like to tell stories, it seems, of the horrors of the Australian outback – and the effect the barren landscape can have on people, be it mentally or physically. Some of which, like Wake in Fright and Walkabout, have gone on to be classics of the genre. Some, less so much. Which leads us to Outback, which tells the story of a young couple, Wade (Wiese) and Lisa (Lofberg), who head to Australia hoping to recharge their failing romance. When their Gps fails, they leave their car and head off on foot to find a new route. As night falls, they must spend the night in the bush without food, water, or weapons, surrounded by snakes, scorpions, and wild dogs.
