Premise
In a small country town, Mayor Ransom buys up land to develop a theme park. Council officials blast a Vietnam War memorial, unleashing monsters.
Production
The script was written originally by Barrie Pattison who brought it to Carmelo Musca, who liked the idea of doing a genre piece with some social commentary. The state funding body Screen West refused to invest in the film.[2]
Reception
According to the filmmakers, "the film made back money four or five times over for the investors".[2]
gollark: Honestly, the negative point for wrong guesses rule sort of ruins the strategy of actually guessing ever?
gollark: The trouble is that while I can approximately guess who they *appear to be from*, people are obviously trying to fake that and I can't really process the weird social stuff well enough to get any accurate answers out.
gollark: Or a quintuple bluff.
gollark: A worrying possibility.
gollark: Initiating orbital mind control lasers.
