Trivia

On the last night day of filming the writer's brother, Rick, was filling in for stunt man for a motorcycle stunt. As he was warming up he launched himself off of a hill in Swing Arm and had a bad crash. So on last day of filming Laura Pratt was going between set and hotel checking on her brother.

User Reviews

Don't return to your brutal memories

Films with Red in the title tend to be good for some reason. No i am not doing a list, though i will mention top Australian thriller Red Hill. This did not get a UK theatre release. I only know of it as it was given faint praise by Kim Newman in an issue of Empire mag on it's belated DVD release.It turns out to be a handsomely filmed Drama with horror overtones as two youngsters and their friends return to the family home in the badlands of Utah, where a brutal rape causes them to return to try to put it behind them. Not the best idea to say the least, but this manages to carry it off with a good script and decent acting.Think the opposite side of the plot in the excellent Wolf Creek and your nearly there. Well worth a look and there's a dog you would not take down the pub!
