Another film having its world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival later this month is Blame, the debut feature of writer/director Michael Henry -- and based on this compelling trailer it's now at the top of my must-see list!
Here's the lowdown...
Seeking justice and revenge, five friends violently attack a man in his remote country house. Their plan: the perfect murder. Confident that their victim's death by his own hand will not be questioned, they overdose him on sleeping pills, but it all goes horribly wrong when their attempt fails and their victim fights for his life.In the aftermath, questions are raised about the true nature of the events leading up to the botched attack. As lies and secrets are revealed, the dynamic of the once-tight group shifts as the friends begin to question each other's motives. As they move closer to the truth, the weight of their quest for justice drives them to a place of no return.
Blame stars Sophie Lowe (Beautiful Kate), Kestie Morassi (Wolf Creek), Damian de Montemas (Somersault), Simon Stone (Jindabyne, Balibo), Mark Leonard Winter (Van Diemen's Land) and Ashley Zukerman (The Pacific).
