Suburban Mayhem (2006) Movie Review, Cast & Crew, Film Summary

Another barely watchable Aussie film that feels absurdly retro in its punk stylisation, with a proliferation of cliche gimmicks (such as the characters all being interviewed for television – wow, like we haven’t seen that one done to death already) and predictable “dark” satiric twists stolen point-blank from films like To Die For. If it possessed an iota of substance, it would have been offensive. What it’s got going for it is Emily Barclay, in the kind of gritty, no-holds-barred, I-own-this-fucking-film performance by an Australian actress in an Australian film that’s very rarely seen.
