Independent distributors Synapse Films have revealed that they are preparing a Blu-ray release of Australian director Colin Eggleston's
Long Weekend (1978), starring John Hargreaves, Briony Behets, and Mike McEwen. The release will be available for purchase on April 14.
Attempting to resurrect their failing marriage, Peter (Hargreaves) and Marcia (Behets) set out on a camping trip to a deserted stretch of Australian coastline in the hope that a long weekend in the sunshine will help them patch their differences.
They are a careless couple, littering the countryside with garbage, shooting guns and even driving away after wounding a kangaroo with their automobile. Their callous disregard for the environment soon becomes apparent when the animals start to seek vengeance.
Marcia and Peter have proved themselves to be destroyers of nature. Will the animals allow them to leave or will they be destroyed?
