Attempting to resurrect their failing marriage, Peter and Marcia set out on a camping trip to a deserted stretch of the Australian coastline in the hope that a long weekend in the sunshine will help them patch their differences. They are a careless couple, littering the countryside with garbage, shooting guns and even driving away after killing a kangaroo with their truck. Their callous disregard for the environment soon becomes apparent when animals start to seek vengeance. Marcia and Peter have proved themselves to be destroyers of nature. Will the animals allow them to leave or will mother nature exact her own destruction? Director: Jamie Blanks Cast: Jim Caviezel, Claudia Karvan |

The Objective tells the gripping story of a group of Special Ops Reservists on a mission in the hostile terrain of Afghanistan. While on their mission they find themselves lost in a Middle Eastern "Bermuda Triangle" of ancient evil. Director Daniel Myrick, yet again, breaks new ground in modern cinema, setting a horror film in a landscape that leaps right out of today's headlines and by taking a group of men armed for combat and stripping them to the core of their most primal instincts. The Objective is set to be yet another horror masterpiece that will ignite the world. Director: Daniel Myrick Cast: Jonas Ball, P. David Miller, Jon Huertas, Matthew R. Anderson, Sam Hunter |

Tasmania, Australia, the world's most isolated island. It's rumoured deep within Tasmania's wilderness an ancient species known as the Tasmanian Tiger is alive and breeding. Yet modern science refuses to believe such a creature now exists since no witnesses have ever been able to prove it. That is until Zoology student, Nina, claims she can breach Tasmania's impenetrable forests and reveal the tiger's existence to be true. Driving Nina's quest is one critical piece of proof: a paw print taken by her sister just before she met with a fatal accident eight years before. But what Nina doesn't know is how Tasmania became Australia and the world's most dangerous island in 19th century when the murderous convict Alexander Pearce (aka "The Pieman") broke out of prison only to eat his fellow escapees. Pearce was hung for cannibalism in 1824, but not before he'd spawned a blood line who inherited his taste for human flesh. Soon Nina and her friends discover that in the wild whilst one species may have died out another has thrived - in the form of the Pieman's descendants. When she sets out with her partner, Matt and his old mate Jack and his girlfriend Rebecca, their little expedition encounters the island's reigning breed, but one who stands on two legs, not four. The Pieman clan has survived and their need to feed and breed turns Nina, Matt, Jack and Rebecca into the next endangered species. Director: Jody Dwyer Cast: Leigh Whannell, Nathan Phillips, Mirrah Foulkes, Melanie Vallejo, Bille Brown, Ken Radley, Elaine Hudson |

Mark and James are best friends. Even though Mark's not so secretly in love with James's girlfriend Chasely, they're bound by a gruesome secret in their past involving the neighbourhood bogeyman, ex-con Archer. When the boys see serial killer Ian burying a backpacker in the woods, they realize they've stumbled upon the chance of a lifetime, and seizing the opportunity for revenge they blackmail him into murdering Archer. However the plan backfires and instead of killing Archer, the serial killer and ex-con team up against them. Rather than destroying their childhood nightmare, Mark and James discover they've created another one far deadlier, and now fighting for their lives Mark will be forced to reveal a secret he's been hiding even from James, a secret as monstrous as the real life monsters determined to finish them off for good. Director: Jon Hewitt Cast: Joel Edgerton, Michael Dorman, Sebastian Gregory, Hannah Mangan-Lawrence, Joshua Payne |
