Itās an Aussie movie set in Tasmania during initial colonisation. Itās brutal, less so on really heavy gore (though itās definitely in there with the historical brutality and Aboriginal genocide) and all that fun stuff, but like, psychologically. Probably my favourite horror/thriller in recent years and my favourite Aussie one - but itās a hard rewatch for me. No spoilers but I was just *drained* by the end of it. Like āoh. wow. well. that was good, but *god*.ā Had to stay seated staring at the screen for a good while afterwards with teary eyes

š©Unequivocally the most harrowing film I have ever seen and I cannot get it out of my headā¦.
Deeply disturbing , anxiety inducing, compelling, stomach churning. Shot and written with effective precision, without overkill or gratuitous exploitation. Movies about the human will to survive are hard to do without being either corny or played out and this does follow a similar narrative arc but I really appreciated how it was told. I recommend watching the little docu about the making of the film. I loveĀ production. Unbelievable true story and really compelling film

I expected this to be graphic considering its subject matter but itās a purely psychological thriller with a twisted bent. This movie gave me chills and deeply unsettled me in ways I was not expecting!!! brilliant commentary on the nature of true crime content, with realistic depictions of technologyā¦ The lead is an incredibly fascinating and complex female character. highly recommend if you havenāt seen itā¦

Sent to two friends, one who got me the shirt and the other the necklace. But also Iāve been feeling down lately and I like my face in this one, *so*
(my hair is clipped up, itās actually down to my lower back, but Iām feeling more confident in myself if I ever go shorter again!)
