Peter Weir directs Terry Camilleri, John Meillon and Bruce Spence in this strange Aussie film about a small town that causes car accidents,  and then tries to indoctrinate one of the rare survivors over to their ways. 

A low key fable or a subtle satire? Either way very dull, with perhaps the weakest, most charisma free lead turn in a movie I’ve seen. Strangely, Terry Camilleri, who may have been being this bland on purpose, eventually went on to play Napoleon in Bill and Ted. The plot is similar to Wake in Fright, the tone and effect nowhere near as intriguing.
