You might expect a list of Australian horror films to be teeming with the beasties people associate with the continent: poisonous snakes, deadly spiders, mammoth crocs. Yet while this collection of essential Aussie horror flicks does contain several of those Down Under biters – two crocodile movies, one shark movie, and one about a giant wild boar (didn’t see that coming, did ya?!) – it also features works that tap into something just as threatening: the vast land itself, fro

Daily Dead: Mike Flanagan On The Importance Of Bringing In New Directors For 'Bly Manor'
“The filmmakers that we chose for this season are filmmakers who've made movies we love and that's kind of where it started. It was really easy. I watch a lot of movies and when I saw 'A Dark Song', I just freaked out and knew we had to find a way to work with Liam. We had to find a way to support him. This was an opportunity to do that. Same when we saw 'Cargo', and both Ben and Yolanda's work was so wonderful. Trevor had just produced a film with Ciarán, while we were worki

The Guardian: The 10 Best Australian Films Of 2018... Zombies And Swingers And Ghosts, Oh My!
"A zombie movie with soul and pathos? Yes, it can be done. Martin Freeman headlines the first feature film from Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling, stretching out their 2013 Tropfest-winning short of the same name. An infected protagonist (Freeman) wanders across outback Australia, with two days to find somebody to take care of his infant daughter before he turns into a flesh muncher. On a most basic level Cargo is about being a good parent, using an often under-contemplated genre

Junkee: The Absolute Best Films Of 2018
"If the zombie is the most political monster, then it’s ferocious in the Australian political context. Australia is overrun by undead creatures and the ugly side of the country is revealed. One hell of a portrait of the responsibilities of parenting, too."

"Aussie directing team Ben Howling and Yolanda Ramke stake out a patch of novelty by taking the question of survival out of the equation. Andy (a weatherbeaten Martin Freeman) has been infected by the flesh-necrotizing germ, he's got 48 hours to live, and he just wants to find somewhere safe to stash his infant daughter. The sadness running expectedly through the film hews closer to the elegiac than the miserable, a dutiful illustration of how precious life becomes the moment
