During a trip to the outback, a married couple undergoes a marital crisis, but also experiences bizarre events in which nature seems to be paying them back in kind for every bit of littered trash. Unfolding at a leisurely pace and devoid of cheap thrills, this classic horror flick builds upon fear of the unseen and the gradual loss of certainty.

A real gem of Australian exploitation is a strange and powerfully effective psychological eco-horror. Sharply scripted by Does an excellent job of building a mounting sense of eerie, surreal dread from the very beginning. It's not without its cheesy moments, but it's far more effective than many better known big-budget horror films. Definitely worth seeking out.
