AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Experience this new Australian thriller featuring a range of powerhouse performances in an introspective study of grief and vengeance. As Christian travels through rural Australia to investigate the suspicious death of his daughter, he picks up Alice, a young runaway. An awkward friendship unfolds, but as the solitude of their journey seems to ease, a dark threat lingers nearby. From the gruesome opening to the explosive climax, THE HORSEMAN is a distinctive blend of grisly action and tender drama.'
