'Snowtown' (2010) – Justin Kurzel.

An ice-cruel true crime thriller set in Australia's grim desolated hinterlands that frequently makes for morbidly compelling viewing. 'Snowtown' is a starkly disturbing, darkly beguiling suburban serial killer nightmare that never once loses its unrelentingly fearsome grip, and while oft exposing the viewer to the egregious savagery of a depraved killer, it never once feels unjustifiably crude, or exploitative. The uncommonly raw subject matter is excitingly captured with exceptionally visceral film-making, as the spiky, sulphurous 'Snowtown' roils with raw, unfiltered aggression, thereby guaranteeing the frequently frenzied film's many darkly seductive sequences eerily exudes a mesmerically macabre fascination that you simply cannot ignore! Powerhouse director Justin Kurzel's singularly bellicose 'Snowtown' is a modern crime classic wholly deserving of its lofty reputation, and wickedly talented actor Daniel Henshall's pyrotechnically sadistic small-town psychopath John is one of extreme cinema's most indelibly monstrous movie maniacs! 'Snowtown' is not only a wretched place to live, it's far worse to die there!
