4 Good Australian not-to-scary Horror Movies

Extra recommendation: Wake in Fright. An Australian thriller that explores Australian culture in an absurd and disturbing way. Do we all really drink too much? Read my article about my theory for Wake in Fright here.

4. Rouge (2007) A beast horror for fans of Jaws

Fright rating 4.5/10

It has been a long time since I’ve watched this film but as a testament to it, I am still thinking about it. It follows a predictable storyline and this could be a reason for the enormous gap between critic ratings (94%) and audience ratings (53%) on Rotten Tomatoes.

Synopsis: A group of tourists embark on a crocodile watching river cruise in Kakadu National Park and then encounter an enormous crocodile and chaos ensues.

This is on my list because it is an Aussie Jaws and makes for some light-hearted fun that only raises your heart rate a smidge.

3. Wolf Creek (2005) A serial killer thriller taking place on a barren Australian landscape

Fright rating: 5/10
