Inspired by true events, the storyline sounds horribly familiar. Admittedly, there are times when it’s an unpleasant one, but not in the sense that you’re repelled from watching it: what’s happening is nasty and that’s down to the perpetrators. It’s been described as a horror, and there are parts which are deeply uncomfortable to watch, but for me it’s more of a psychological thriller. And, despite more limited distribution, Australian Hounds Of Love looks set to tread the same path. They’re also films which have earned unexpected success, both critically and commercially, and that’s nothing to do with the horror tag. Which may account for why the horror label has been hung on a number films this year, ones that hitherto may have fallen into the thriller category. A thriller, on the other hand, is all about excitement, making it sound tame by comparison. The dictionary describes it as something that produces an intense feeling of fear, shock or disgust. Back at their house, she’s kidnapped and, chained to a bed, undergoes a horrific ordeal.ĭefine “horror”. Vicki Maloney (Ashleigh Cummings) has yet another row with her mother, defies her about going to a party and, walking along the street in search of a cab, she accepts a lift from a couple, Evelyn (Emma Booth) and John (Stephen Curry). In a quiet suburb of Perth in Australia, a teenage girl has gone missing and posters are pinned to every tree. Starring Emma Booth, Ashleigh Cummings, Stephen Curry and Susie Porter.
