The mixture of the everyday and the bizarre, so essential to any good horror movie, is achieved perfectly, as the scariest sequences are shot in that stark, glaring Australian daylight. The complicity of the primal landscape with the repressed spirituality and sexuality of the girls always present but never overdone...
