Description
The film is about a young English couple, Alex (Shaun Evans) and Sophie (Amelia Warner), who backpack across Australia and get a lift from a handsome American, Taylor (Scott Mechlowicz). Taylor takes pictures of everyone he meets and Sophie finds a picture of herself in one of the pictures. The tension between the three builds until Taylor drives them off a cliff and they die. The film is mostly shot in wide shots of the Australian outback and the shots inside the car are tight and claustrophobic.
A young English couple backpacking across Australia run into a spot of bother when they catch a lift with a sinister American.
Hardly an advisable enterprise in this day and age, but laddish Brit Alex (Shaun Evans) and his well-bred girlfriend Sophie (Amelia Warner) set out to backpack across Australia. Having a lovely time, they think their good fortune is boundless when offered a lift by Taylor (Scott Mechlowicz), a handsome American with a car. Tension builds among the three as Sophie quickly finds herself drawn to the alpha-dog charms of the winsome yank. It's Taylor's custom to take Polaroid snaps of everyone he meets on his travels and, when Alex finds a compromising snap of Sophie among them, the outback air turns positively red with malice.
The jaw-dropping wide shot scenery and tight, claustrophobic shots inside the car add to the brooding malevolent mood in this chest-gripping drama.
