CW // Animal Slaughter

“The kangaroo hunting scenes in Wake in Fright are an unnerving, disturbing dive into male bonding rituals, aided further by their use of sound. The sequence opens with John and the others speeding through the outback, kicking up dust and howling. These sounds serve a stark contrast to their surrounds, drowning out the stillness and silence of the outback.

The same can be said about the scenes at night, which you can see in this posts clip. As the men roll up to a small group of kangaroos, there's a noticeable shift in tone. Everyone seems laser-focused on their targets, and there's a brief moment of near silence before the audience is hit with the deafening roar of rifles unloading.”

“My key inspirations for the sound of this short are rural horror films like the original Texas Chain Saw Massacre & Wake in Fright. These films are grimy and hellish in their depictions of rural environments and aim to overwhelm the audience at points with their use of sound, in particular during the dinner and final escape scenes from TCM, and the pub and kangaroo hunting scenes from Wake in Fright.

Additionally, I was inspired by Australian rock music of the 1970s and 1980s. Bands like Sherbet, Little River Band and Mental as Anything were in heavy rotation on road trips growing up.

I've got a playlist of songs and score pieces that inspired me during the development process - give it a listen to get into the vibes of our film!”

“Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a great source of inspiration for the cinematography. A 70s slasher horror shot largely in the daytime where the rural colours of the landscape appear dry and uncomfortable mimicking the look of Outsider. The camera work creates a jarring experience, jumping between closeups and quirky angles of gore to unobstructed, voyueristic wide shots which work to form a balance of shock and tension.”

“When I first saw the 2008 film LAKE MUNGO, directed by Joel Anderson, I was floored - it’s undoubtedly one of the scariest films I’ve seen, but surprisingly also one of the saddest. It showcases the unforgiving brutality of grief in such a unique way, and it’s also so damn effective. The film follows a documentary-format on a young girl who drowns, and the subsequent events her family experiences.

The film was actually shot in the Victorian town of Ararat, so the landscape and culture was all-too familiar; which is what I think allowed the film to have such an effect on me. Seeing such a masterclass of horror be produced in the same state I’m in inspired me to take the necessary risks when we wrote Outsider, and will most definitely be inspiring me on future projects.”

“A film that tackles similar themes to Outsider in an unparalleled way, is Steve Jodrell’s 1988 film ‘Shame’. Similar to ‘Outsider’, the film’s protagonist, played by Deborra-Lee Furness, enters a self-contained and unforgiving rural town, only to be confronted with ostracisation and brutality. In addition to this, Furness’ character played a huge part in the creation of our mysterious Asta who’ll be played by the incredible Carolyn Dee.”
