Australian director John Hillcoat drags us into the gritty and disturbing world of a maximum security prison down under in the raw and unapologetic Ghosts...Of The Civil Dead.
It's shot in such a way that it's both cold and distant, yet strangely intimate with it's surroundings. The cast is hardly known outside of it's home country which makes for a more realistic feel to anyone not familiar with Australian cinema.
It might start out slow and almost uninteresting but as the pressure builds you can't help but become transfixed by the time the intense finale erupts into chaos.
