Mako Mermaids is a spin-off of the popular TV series about mermaids, H2O: Just Add Water, and for years it has been unclear if season 5 of Mako Mermaids will ever see the light of day. The spin-off first premiered in Australia with the title Mako: Island of Secrets, and its most recent episode aired in 2016. Mako Mermaids follows the story of Zac (Chai Hansen), a teenager who becomes a merman after falling into magic water. While Zac learns how to adjust to being a merman, three mermaids named Lyla (Lucy Fry), Nixie (Ivy Latimer), and Sirena (Amy Ruffle) become curious about human life.

The Mako Mermaids cast also includes Isabel Durant as Ondina, Allie Bertram as Mimmi, Gemma Forsyth as Zac's girlfriend Evie, Linda Ngo as Weilan, and Alex Cubis as Eric. In the most recent season of Mako Mermaids, H2O: Just Add Water star Cariba Heine appears as Rikki.

2020 horror movies have a lot to offer as you'll see in The Furies. When Kayla (Airlie Dodds) wakes up in a coffin-like box in the middle of the woods, the first thing she sees is a terrifying masked man with an axe running straight for her. As she runs to try to get away,...

‘Emu Runner.’

Writer-director Imogen Thomas’ family drama Emu Runner and Tony D’Aquino’s female-driven survival thriller The Furies opened in limited sessions on a handful of screens last weekend.

The grosses were commensurately modest but The Furies has been sold to half a dozen major territories including the Us and Odin’s Eye Entertainment is negotiating deals for Latin America, Russia and Italy.

Los Angeles-based Timothy O’Brien of Ovation Films, who has represented Emu Runner since just before its Berlin premiere, is hopeful of international sales.

Thomas’ debut feature, which had its world premiere in the Discovery section of the Toronto International Film Festival, revolves around a nine-year-old Indigenous girl (Rhae-Kye Waites) in the remote Brewarrina community, who finds solace in the company of a wild emu after her mother’s unexpected death.

The cast includes Wayne Blair, Maurial Spearim, Georgia Blizzard, Rob Carlton and newcomers Mary Waites, Letisha Boney,...

‘The Furies.’

Tony D’Aquino’s debut feature The Furies will premiere in North America on AMC Networks’ genre streaming service Shudder after sales to multiple markets negotiated by Odin’s Eye Entertainment.

The female-driven survival thriller produced by Lisa Shaunessy and The Film Distillery’s Andy Marriott follows rebellious high school students Kayla (Airlie Dodds) and her best friend Maddie (Ebony Vagulans), who are abducted by a sinister presence.

Kayla wakes up in a box in the middle of a forest with no idea how she got there or where Maddie is. She soon discovers that men in terrifying masks are stalking six other young women in the woods.

She tries to save as many as she can but when the girls turn on each other, her killer instinct is unleashed. The cast includes Danielle Horvat, Linda Ngo, Taylor Ferguson, Harriet Davies, Kaitlyn Boye and Jessica Baker.

An above-average riff on the reliable “hunting humans for sport” scenario that’s been around at least as far as 1932’s Rko thriller “The Most Dangerous Game,” “The Furies” marks a solid feature debut for Aussie writer-director Tony D’Aquino. A pacy tale about kidnapped women being butchered by mutant monstrosities while sickos pay to watch online, this well-produced Ozploitation effort has the heavy-duty gore to excite horror hounds and packs enough of a girl-power punch to avoid dismissal as just another misogynist slasher movie. Debuting in Asia at BiFan after screenings in Brussels Fantastic Festival and Edinburgh, these “Furies” are certain to be let loose at many more genre-related events, and also have a shot at theatrical exposure in Australia and beyond. Local release details are pending.

Crucial to the film rising above the ranks of horror also-rans is the outstanding central performance of Airlie Dodds, who impressed as...

This supremely gory outback slasher is an efficient, smartly paced horror flick that puts a series of inventive twists on some familiar genre ideas. As such, it represents a significant debut for Australian writer-director Tony D’Aquino and marks him out as a serious horror talent to watch.

After a brief prologue, giving a hint of what’s in store, the film opens with teenage best friends Kayla (Airlie Dodds) and Maddie (Ebony Vagulans), having an argument after spraying “Fuck the Patriarchy” in an underpass. After Maddie storms off, both girls are kidnapped by masked men and Kayla wakes up in a box in the outback with “Beauty 6” written on it.

She quickly discovers that she’s not alone, and that as well as...
