One of the earliest eco-horrors- 1978- and one you should really see.
Plot: A rather macho/arrogant bloke (it's Australia so you say 'bloke' instead of 'fella') and his 'sheila' head into the 'bush' to get away from the 'big-smoke' for a long weekend. It's a bank holiday or something. Any-who, off they go, knocking down a Kangeroo seems the first step, later they decide a spot of littering, hunting and general non-eco-friendly action is called for. As the trip continues, the quarrelling couple begin to notice a random crying (linked to the sheila's abortion) and a dead dugong (Manatee type animal) which he kills early on and seems to some how follow them around the beach.
Budget: $?
Gross: $?
You can't say they threw too much cash at this film, but you also can't say you really needed it. Take a good premise, add average actors and decent sound effects and you have the makings of a moody and suspenseful tale.
Fun Fact: A remake was filmed and released in 2008, starring James Jesus Caviezel.
