    Wolf Creek (2005) + The Loved Ones (2009) - Ozploitation or not?

    Hello and welcome back to Live From Manchester Morgue, where your British hosts dive into the world of horror movies and discuss two films that we think would make the perfect horror double feature. This time, we're heading down under to explore Australian horror and Ozploitation with Greg McLean's Wolf Creek and Sean Byrne's The Loved Ones. But do these two films really count as Ozploitation? We discuss what makes Australian exploitation horror so distinctive and why these brutal, unforgettable movies deserve a place in the horror canon. Do you think they count as Ozploitation? Let us know! We'll also share our horror movie recommendations, talk about what we've been watching, and pay tribute to horror and genre icons Tim Curry and Peter Cullen. If you're a fan of Australian horror, Ozploitation, Wolf Creek, The Loved Ones, extreme horror, cult movies, and horror double features, this episode is for you. Subscribe for more horror movie discussions, reviews, recommendations, and deep dives from Live From Manchester Morgue.

    Hello friends and welcome back (sort of) to the Morgue! For this episode we've pulled some stuff from an older episode whilst we wait for the incredible heat and nearby wildfire to piss off so we can record easily again. Normal service should hopefully resume next week but we didn't want you to think we'd forgotten about you. How could we?! Here's our retrospective on the Soska Sisters' American Mary and our take on Frankie, Maniac Woman, a great new horror still doing the rounds along with an interview with director Pierre Tsigaridis.
