Leaving November 30 • 1h 29m

Directed by Tony Williams • 1982 • Austrlia, New Zealand
Starring Jacki Kerin, John Jarratt, Alex Scott

When a young woman (Jacki Kerin) inherits a creaky retirement home, she finds herself plunged into a waking nightmare of murder, madness, and a legacy of evil that may be inescapable. Awash in moody gothic atmosphere and hallucinatory visuals, this stylish Australian giallo—a favorite of Quentin Tarantino’s that he’s compared to THE SHINING—features a mind-warping climax and an intense synth score by Klaus Schulze of Tangerine Dream.
