AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Ian and Samantha head to a national park, hoping the bush will give them space for some quiet time together. They arrive at an isolated campsite to find an SUV and a tent - no sign of the occupants. As night falls and the campers fail to return, Ian and Sam grow increasingly uneasy. The discovery of a distressed child wandering in the woods unleashes a terrifying chain of events that will test the young couple to breaking point. ((Damien Power Official Website)

These days, with the rise in digital filmmaking, the growth of alternative distribution and the existence of countless film festicals, a lot of movies are being made – so it's more vital than ever for fledgling titles to have something special to vouch for their audience-worthiness. Horror films have a particularly good track record in this respect, even launching the careers of several cinematic greats. But, Glenn Dunks asks, is Killing Ground one such success story?
