Details

This special limited edition spot gloss slipcover (designed by Haunt Love) is limited to 2,000 units and is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

Umbrella Entertainment has been a 100% Australian-owned and operated distributor for over 20 years. Their vast home entertainment catalogue features an extensive range of Australian classic, cult and exploitation films restored under the eyes of the original filmmakers. All sourced from national archives, underground collectors and local basements.

In the fast lane world of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, Dominic Black (David Clendinning), a millionaire entrepreneur, reins supreme. Bored with the usual showbiz diversions, he prefers to indulge in playing elaborate mind games – and making movies where the performers end up dead!

After a documentary cameraman (Lou Brown) and his journalist girlfriend (Jennifer Cluff) witness one of Dominic’s party guests being hunted and killed in a chilling, hallucinatory chase, the immoral tycoon fears they may have captured the shocking event on film.

He lures the inquisitive pair to his luxury Surfers Paradise penthouse for a weekend of cat-and-mouse games where there are blood splattered bodies in the pool, on the balcony and in the cupboards… but in this complex, deadly nightmare, nothing is what it seems.

Set against the tranquil backdrop of sundrenched beaches and glittering blue seas, this little seen psychological thriller (from the writer of FANTASM) delivers non-stop twists and turns in a violent, flesh-filled tale of voyeurism, pornography, snuff films and complex human manipulation.

                            Reviews

                            Nice smooth transaction

                            "Good general quality for a blu ray transfer Nice thriller this one a little hidden gem Good restoration"

                            — Peter F. (5/5)

                            Trippy oz-sploitation

                            "Really enjoyed this erotic thriller from Australia. First watched on Tubi sometime ago, and liked it enough to get the physical disc. I thought David Clendenning and Jennifer Cluff really stood out and played their roles well. The movie has a more European style and plays best to those who don't insist on a clear cut explanation of everything by the end."

                            — Adam C. (5/5)

                            All vibes, all the time.

                            "All vibes, all the time. A great Australian time capsule by way of (s)exploitation with some great cinematography and a pair of likeable leads. The VHS version included as an extra is a fantastic bonus. I wish all releases had this feature. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug."

                            — Paul A. (5/5)

                            SKU: UMB-012

                            "Nice little gem of a thriller that I had never heard about before Umbrella released this very well producded Blu-ray. The whole plot has a meta level to it, since the main character is a film maker. Similar movies that came to mind are: Blow-Out, Blue Money, Lady Stay Dead (for also being an Aussie Thriller from that time). The restoration is excellent and the extras are very interesting, especially the visual essay. Nice booklet incudeled as well. Here in Germany it was released on VHS under the title "Ticket to Hell"!"

                            — Dominik F. (4/5)

                            entertaining thriller

                            "Sometimes a misleading advertisement makes for a frustrating viewing experience, but sometimes it's clear that you're not going to get what the box art & tagline hint at, & the ride is still engaging. I'm not sure that this is a great bit of psycho-drama, but it's got the items that make one! Glad to have a nice-looking copy in my library."

                            — Isaac W. (4/5)

                            — John M. (5/5)

                            Australian Thriller

                            "Final Cut (1980) is a lean, rough‑edged Australian thriller that blends documentary‑style filmmaking with a sleazy, paranoid atmosphere. It follows Chris, a cameraman, and his journalist girlfriend Sarah as they set out to make a documentary about Dominic, a wealthy and morally dubious businessman rumored to be involved in pornography and even snuff films. What begins as a straightforward exposé quickly spirals into manipulation, missing footage, and a deadly game of control and intimidation"

                            — Tarek E. (3/5)

                            Fun

                            "Classic!"

                            — Aaron M. (5/5)

                            Cool

                            "Cool Flick."

                            Excellent Aussie thriller
