Synopsis

Dark Place is an Australian Aboriginal horror anthology with five terrifically twisted tales by five Aboriginal filmmakers.

Australian genre cinema takes an exciting leap forward with Dark Place, a quintet of tales that approach post-colonial Aboriginal history through the lenses of horror and fantasy:

• Killer Native (Bjorn Stewart): Early settlers Tom and Sally head to the bush to stake a claim. Here they come face to face with a Blackfella, who warns them of a deadly ghoul roaming the area.
• Foe (Liam Phillip): When Elena, a chronic insomniac, wakes up with blood on her dress and a bloody knife in her bed, she questions whether sleep might actually be a portal to something terrifying deep inside her.
• Vale Light (Rob Braslin): Single mum, Shae, and her daughter, Isabel, are doing it tough in the public housing commission estate of Pendle Vale, until one day a witch decides to change their fortune.
• The Shore (Perun Bonser): A young girl living an isolated life in the woods with her father discovers that growing up alone isn't just for her protection - it's for ours.
• Scout (Kodie Bedford): Kidnapped from her own home and forced into the murky world of sex slavery, Scout has finally had enough. She devises a plan to escape and take revenge against her captors.
