Ozploitation Rarities Volume 1 Blu-ray Movie Details
Crosstalk
Confined by his mysterious employers to a luxury high-rise apartment, wheelchair-bound computer programmer Ed Ballinger (Gary Day), attempts to correct a malfunction in the I-500 – the world’s most sophisticated surveillance system. Confronted by increasingly bizarre readouts, he discovers that not only is the computer’s intelligence growing – but it has witnessed a vicious murder!
Ed becomes obsessed with solving the crime – and soon both man and machine are plunged into a vortex of technological horror…
Lady, Stay Dead
Living in a luxury villa on a deserted Sydney beach, millionairess pop singer Marie Coleby (Deborah Coulls) makes the grave mistake of antagonizing her unhinged peeping Tom gardener (Chard Haywood) – leading to a vicious rape and a macabre murder.
The unexpected arrival of Marie’s sister Jenny (Louise Howitt) hinders the disposal of the body – so she is added to the insane handyman’s kill list. With Jenny equally determined to stay alive, so begins a cat-and-mouse battle of wits climaxing in an after-dark assault that violently showcases garden shears, a chainsaw, and homemade petrol bombs.
Final Cut
In the fast-lane world of sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll, Dominic Black (David Clendinning), a millionaire entrepreneur, reigns 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.
