Outback

...beautiful, textured images and a sophisticated examination of civilization and savagery, but the film is also a garish display of backwater roughnecks, a crude assault on the senses. It’s trash art of the highest order.

A vivid Australian nightmare...

Donald Pleasence is electrifying as the alcoholic doctor whose erudite nihilism gives voice to the void.

It's not dated. It is powerful, genuinely shocking and rather amazing. It comes billed as a horror film and contains a great deal of horror, but all of the horror is human and brutally realistic.

...the remastering and rerelease of this early Ted Kotcheff feature marks a key moment in the history of the cinema of masculine brutality.
