Snowtown Murders

True History of the Kelly Gang movie review: toxic came the masculinity

Tue, Apr 21, 2020
2 comments

Revisionist tale of the Australian folk hero rages against the dark forces that shaped him: emotional and economic neglect and abuse forged in patriarchy and colonialism. Electrifyingly punk and vulgar.

Hounds of Love movie review: serial-killer porn

Lurid, pointless thriller teases us with a teenaged girl’s sexual and mortal peril, creating awful suspense around her abuse. Her terror is your titillation.

The story of the killers… but not in any way that you’ve ever seen a tale of serial murder told before.

I’m sure you can guess from this trailer what a happy, spritely, fun movie this is. Serial murder as a family thing? Who can’t identify with that?
