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.
Three spunky teenage girls decide to ditch their parents and private school for a long weekend getaway in Portsea. But, on the way to the seaside resort town they encounter two menacing black panel vans – and their bid for a harmless adventure turns into a chilling white line pursuit that climaxes at the schoolgirls’ remote beach house. Thrown into this nightmare is Pamela, a stunning blonde who has defrauded her employee out of $20,000. On the run and lying low, she joins the girls in a terrifying battle for survival as the terror, suspense and body count rises.
Released in the U.S. under the far more generic title Fair Game, Desolation Angels boasts bitumen-burning chases, a harrowing game of cat-and-mouse and star turns from Kerry Mack (Hostage) and the alluring Karen West (1980 Playmate of the Year) – accompanied by classic tracks from Cold Chisel. Considered the rarest of Ozploitation gems - Desolation Angels is presented in a new 2K transfer approved by the film’s cinematographer Ellery Ryan (Death in Brunswick, Grievous Bodily Harm).

"Another great release by Umbrella. Awesome partner label. Very cool movie in great packaging."
"The synopsis sounds like a slasher and the original poster art suggest a sex comedy right out of the 80s. The film ends up being more a quiet travel picture. Emphasis on a lot of vacation time. It does start to take on those Ozploitation staples here and there but only around the periphery of a kind of sluggish hang-out movie."
"It is a cool movie that was a lot of fun to watch! I always love the unique VS service of allowing you to stack as many movies as you like in your cart during any release period and ship them for free!"
"Slow, very little character development, and little to no motivation for anybody doing anything."
"Fun little ozploitation title with some nice action and suspense! While not as action-packed as other titles, it's still darn fun, and any dedicated fan of Aussie genre film will want to check it out"
"Good movie! The artwork I’ve seen for this can be a little misleading but still ended up being entertaining."
"Funny and at times quite raw. The disc looks great."
"More obscure Ozzie movie but happy to have finally watched it thanks to this release."
"A bit of Aussie sleaze is always welcome in my books. I blame Mark Hartley for this."
"Stellar film and a banger of a release!"
