Tune In Tuesday #2: Halloween Double Feature!" Inn Of The Damned/Night Of Fear"

Both originally made for a Australian horror series called fright, both written and directed by Terry Bourke.

Satan bless the documentary not quite Hollywood.  It opened a world of Australian genre cinema to a generation raised on video store oddity, and it hit right as special edition blu rays were replacing dvds. 

This double feature from Terry Bourke features two segments originally made for Australian TV. Night of Horror, with its backwoods rural attack on a young blonde woman, prefigures the Texas Chainsaw,Massacre by two years. Itt is also a exercise in visual storytelling, it has no dialogue.

Inn of the damned is considered the first Australian horror western, taking place in 1890 and concerning a husband and wife who own an inn, who slaughter there victims as revenge for the death of there children.

Both movies feature excellent transfers and a wealth of extras, and are a great entry point into Australian Genre pictures of the late 20th century.
