British label Second Sight will release on Blu-ray Colin Eggleston's cult film Long Weekend (1978), starring John Hargreaves, Briony Behets, Mike McEwen, Roy Day, and Michael Aitkens. The release will be available for purchase on November 5.
Synopsis: In the hope of saving their marriage a couple decide to take a break by the sea. Between the bickering and fighting they exhibit a callus disregard for the land and creatures around them - starting a fire, wildly firing a gun, scattering rubbish and injuring wildlife. Their obnoxious behaviour will not go unpunished.
One of the seminal Australian films of the 70s, this remarkable, suspense-filled eco-horror builds on its 'man vs nature' premise with an ever-increasing sense of dread and unease.
