And strewth almighty, have our Aussie friends given us some bloody brilliant horrors in the past forty or so years.

But thankfully, we’re here to change that and shine a well deserving light and the best and bloodiest horrors the land down under has to offer. So, brace yourself for murderous maniacs as mad as a meat axe and scenes so gory they’ll make you chunder.
