Opening night film of Monster Fest 2026, where it won Best Australian Feature Film.

The judges citation: “The jury was instantly intrigued by this killer premise. One that weaponizes the mistakes of our hero’s past, points the finger directly at them, then opens up an Agatha Christie’s worth of potential villains, twisting the knife into a savagely slippery narrative. Hung on a rockstar central performance that’s anchored by an outstanding ensemble, this film looks and sounds spectacular, with a spunky score, soundtrack and slick cinematography. Making the most of its Australian lingo and location, filming in a less well-known corner of a very well-known city, it also champions practical effects and has a magnificent monster design, reminding us that so-called happily ever afters can very easily turn into your worst nightmare.“

Special Monster Fest screenings in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth on 30 October.
Closing night Soho Horror Fest screening on 22 November.
