ADelaide PREMIERE
the horseman (R18+)

Dir: Steve Kastrissios
2009 Australia 96mins 35mm
An action-packed, award winning Australian thriller. Featuring a range of powerhouse performance in an unflinching study of grief and retribution. A tender drama unfolds between a grieving father and a troubled teenage girl as they drive northbound along the quiet outback roads of Australia. What she doesn't know is that between stops, he is leaving behind a bloody trail of bodies in a revenge motivated killing spree. Starring Peter Marshall and Caroline Marohasy.

  

Chick here to read the full reviews -

'Kastriossios is clearly eyeing the global horror market with his debut feature. Pick n' mixing elements of Hardcore, Dead Man's Shoes, Get Carter, and Hostel, The Horseman ain't no original'. - Sky Movie, Rob Daniel

'The Horseman’s rough production values are spot on. The raw cinematography serves the taut and sinewy plot. It’s a definite must-see for action fans, as long as you’re not squeamish.' - Screenjabber, Steven Kiernan

'This is a take-no-prisoners genre flick that I choose to describe as an "emotional thriller," and it's one of the most intense, powerful, and aggressively compelling films I've seen in quite some time...a stunning lead performance by Peter Marshall' - FEARNET, Scott Weinberg
