This horror film shot in the southern part of Commonwealth of Australia was screened for the first time in Cannes in May 2005. At the beginning of the show, the audience was shocked by the horror film’s promotional plot.
This film is adapted from the "backpacker homicide" that occurred along the Hume Highway in the Commonwealth of Australia from 1989 to 1992. The real background and the unique texture of high-definition photography make this film unique and full of emotions in mobilizing the audience. The classic thriller elements and the feel of a road movie.
The first half of the film uses a DV documentary-like shooting method to tell the happy journey of the three people, and also brings out the unique and desolate scenery of the southern Commonwealth of Australia. After the homicide appeared, he did not start the killing as expected. From the friendly help to the slight unpleasantness caused by the campfire conversation, the director deliberately slowed down the film's rhythm, focusing on paving the way for the depression before the rainstorm.
In addition to the control of rhythm and tension, the film also shows its advantages in terms of lens tone and other aspects. The gorgeous and changing unique scenery of the southern Commonwealth of Australia adds to the realism of the film for the unusually deserted and almost invisible journey, especially the book The orange sunset scene when escaping the Murder Cavern almost makes people forget the urgency of suffocation before.
