I went into this viewing completely blind apart from a sneak 30 second look at the trailer. It being an Australian film, a film industry that releases countless films I like this does not disappoint.
Two Canadian student types, Hannah and Liv are on a sort of working holiday, ending up as bar staff at an outback bar called The Royal Hotel in the middle of nowhere. The locations and atmosphere of the Royal Hotel instantly evoked memories of Australian cinema like Wake In Fright (1971).
The bar is frequented with the usual cast in such films of loud, drunk, sexually frustrated locals who are very freaky and disturbing in their behaviour towards Hanna and Liv with some violent consequences and tension.
The film being of the horror genre has a crescendo ending which I won't spoil but is a good ending in my opinion.
They certainly make good thriller films in the land Down Under!
