Dated & Average Aussie Thriller - Snapshot review by GI
Recently restored to 4K UHD BluRay this is a rather mediocre Australian thriller that is very dated and was bizarrely retitled The Day After Halloween on its original release it having absolutely nothing to do with halloween nor even being set at that time of year! The film is marked as the debut of the now celebrated Aussie actor Sigrid Thornton, who plays Angela, a young down-on-her-luck hairdresser who is recruited by the glamorous Madeleine (Chantal Contouri) to be an advertising model. Her first gig is so successful she attracts the attention of various individuals and being naïve fails to grasp the exploitative behaviour of those around her. She also has to deal with a creepy ex boyfriend who keeps stalking her in his ice cream van. The film boasts a small twist at the end. But it's all fairly routine and anti-climactic with an overbearing soundtrack and possibly a theme around middle aged men's cravings for nubile and innocent young women! Who knows? It's a film quickly forgotten. The one bonus is Hugh Keays-Byrne as a fashion photographer.
