A group of young travelers camping across the outback are beset by a demonic road train. Fighting for their lives as well as their sanity they try to break free from trucks evil spell.

Written by Clive Hopkins and directed by Dean Francis.

Let me first explain for those who aren't in the know what a 'road train' is, it's simply a semi-truck hauling two trailers. In Road Kill it was two flat bed trailers hauling what seemed to be shipping containers. That out of the way let me proceed, I thought this film was brilliant.
Made balls out as the Austrailians often do, Road Kill has great acting, action, carnage, scenery and mind bending plot twists. The truck is an instrument of evil, as it takes no time to figure out, but the payoff is in how it works. I know I probably gave a lot away but you should enjoy this anyway. The internal struggles of the travelers, the discoveries, the tragedy of the ending all keep you interested in finding out what happens next.
Try this one out, you won't be disappointed. I expect to see great things coming on the Aussie front, they have an unforgiving way of story telling and it works.9/10
