Defined in the glossary: Ozploitation
A young model is stalked after a nude shoot. A slow-burn Australian thriller with a real sense of dread.
An Australian psychological thriller in which a naive young hairdresser is drawn into modelling, poses for a nude photograph, and finds herself stalked by an unseen figure, possibly connected to the shoot, possibly to her own chaotic life. It builds unease slowly, more interested in atmosphere and character than shocks.
Simon Wincer directs it with restraint, and the ordinary Melbourne suburbia gives it a grounded creepiness. Released internationally under the title The Day After Halloween to cash in on the slasher boom it barely resembles. A moody, patient entry in the Ozploitation cycle.

The cycle in depth
- Ozploitation: the Australian genre boom, 1971 to 1986
An adults-only certificate, a tax loophole, and a Melbourne doctor who knew what happens to bodies at speed. Australia's fifteen years of cheap, mean, brilliant genre film.
- Wake in Fright is not an exploitation film
It was lost for thirty years, found in a bin marked 'for destruction', and it is the best thing on this site.
Filed alongside
Next of Kin
A slow-burn gothic in a nursing home. Much better than its obscurity suggests.
Turkey Shoot
The budget vanished mid-shoot and they kept going. Chaotic, mean, fun.
Alvin Purple
The sex comedy that funded the entire boom. Historically important, hard going.
Stunt Rock
No plot. A stuntman and a prog band. Exists purely so Grant Page can work.
Thirst
A secret society farms humans for blood. Ozploitation does vampires as corporate agribusiness.
Fair Game
A woman alone at an outback wildlife reserve is hunted by three kangaroo poachers. Lean and nasty.
Dead End Drive-In
A drive-in turned into an internment camp. The satire is not subtle.
Stone
Australia's outlaw-biker scripture. Mad Max drank from this tank.
Patrick
A man in a coma does telekinesis. Better than that sentence implies.
Long Weekend
A couple litter, and Australia decides to kill them. Excellent.
Razorback
A giant pig film shot like a perfume ad. Somehow works.
The Man from Hong Kong
Jimmy Wang Yu wrecks Sydney, with hang-gliding and a man actually on fire. Peak crossover.
