DVD Reviews of Ghosts... of the Civil Dead [Region 4]
DVD Review: A stunning film
Summary: 5 Stars
A stunning film and as relevant as when it was made 22 years ago . . . I cannot see why this forgotten classic of the Australian Gothic genre has not gotten more attention. DVD Review: Raising the Civil Dead
Summary: 5 Stars
Cathy Doyle (Spikes, Mikes, Slackers and Dykes) took me to see a screening of this extrordinary Austrailian produced film 15 years ago. The setting is a 'maximum security lockdown' in the middle of nowhere. Obviously, the theme is isolation. It's a classic. Performances by Nick Cave (The Bad Seeds) and Chris de Rose (Last Chance for Animals) are violently poetic. Leaving the lonely preview (Cathy, I and Wendy Hayes (Billy's wife) were the only attendees) , we shared a communal awe and agreed this was a rare treat, a 'one of a kind' experience. Cathy pitched, but both Bob and Harvey (Miramax) and Nelson Entertainment (Embasy) turned it down. It is available on DVD in Europe, but has not yet been released in the United States. I strongly recommend this disturbing film and urge a domestic DVD release.
