One of the most harrowing and brutal films of the last 20 years, Snowtown is a truly disturbing insight into the mind of a killer, through the eyes of a young boy in 1990s Australia. The dark and distressing film is a truly remarkable feat of filmmaking, taking us deeper and deeper into the heart of darkness with mesmerising cinematography, eerie performances and a haunting score.
Rereleased on Blu-ray in a superb Limited Edition from 101 Films, Snowtown is a must-see for fans of the horror and crime thriller genres.
