Blood Seeps into the Sand of Red Hill

Red Hill is not really a horror film, more dramatic thriller than anything else. This feature, which was shot in Victoria, Australia, is likely receiving help from the Screen Australia's production support program, which partially finances films with Australia content (a prediction, unconfirmed). This Australian governmental agency is helping to promote a film industry that does not need much help with films like Road Train, South Solitary, and Owl Song on the horizon (Road Train preview here). Although not a horror film, Red Hill looks good for anyone with a soft spot for the ol' westerns with real grit.

The story for Red Hill begins here:

"When a young police officer, Constable Shane Cooper, relocates to the small high-country town of Red Hill with his pregnant wife, he does so in the hope of starting a new family. But when news of a prison break in the city sends the local law enforcement officers into a panic, Shane's first day on duty quickly goes from bad to worse.

Enter Jimmy Conway, a convicted murderer serving life behind bars, he returns to the isolated outpost seeking revenge. Now caught in the middle of what quickly becomes a horrifying blood bath, Shane will be forced to take the law into his own hands if he is to survive. A tight action/thriller, Red Hill unfolds over the course of a single day. Told with explosive action and chilling violence, the story is a modern day western set in high-country Australia" (Trailer).

Director/writer: Patrick Hughes.
