An above-average riff on the reliable “hunting humans for sport” scenario that’s been around at least as far as 1932’s Rko thriller “The Most Dangerous Game,” “The Furies” marks a solid feature debut for Aussie writer-director Tony D’Aquino. A pacy tale about kidnapped women being butchered by mutant monstrosities while sickos pay to watch online, this well-produced Ozploitation effort has the heavy-duty gore to excite horror hounds and packs enough of a girl-power punch to avoid dismissal as just another misogynist slasher movie. Debuting in Asia at BiFan after screenings in Brussels Fantastic Festival and Edinburgh, these “Furies” are certain to be let loose at many more genre-related events, and also have a shot at theatrical exposure in Australia and beyond. Local release details are pending.

This supremely gory outback slasher is an efficient, smartly paced horror flick that puts a series of inventive twists on some familiar genre ideas. As such, it represents a significant debut for Australian writer-director Tony D’Aquino and marks him out as a serious horror talent to watch.
After a brief prologue, giving a hint of what’s in store, the film opens with teenage best friends Kayla (Airlie Dodds) and Maddie (Ebony Vagulans), having an argument after spraying “Fuck the Patriarchy” in an underpass. After Maddie storms off, both girls are kidnapped by masked men and Kayla wakes up in a box in the outback with “Beauty 6” written on it.
She quickly discovers that she’s not alone, and that as well as...

Writer-director Tony D’Aquino’s debut feature The Furies, feature documentary Family from director Kim Beamish and a presently untitled six-part drama from Blackfella Films/the ABC are the first three projects to be supported by Screen Canberra’s Cbr Screen Fund.
First announced in June, the $5 million fund is aimed at boosting the local sector in the Act, as well as attracting projects that lift Canberra’s international profile. It is the first dedicated fund Screen Canberra has had for three years, and the funding can go towards late stage development (with market attachment); equity, debt and structured funding; P&A funding or enterprise funding.
Both The Furies, which shot earlier this year, and Family are from Act-based practitioners. The Furies was developed through Screen Canberra’s Accelerator Pod initiative, a collaboration with The Film Distillery and sales agent Odin’s Eye Entertainment.

Director and documentarian Mark Hartley scores both a film history and comedy success with this ‘wild, untold’ account of the 1980s film studio that was both revered and despised by everyone who had contact with it. The ‘cast list’ of interviewees is encyclopedic, everybody has a strong opinion, and some of them don’t need four-letter words to describe their experience!
