The latest Australian exercise in unflinching brutality sees release soon.

BEATEN TO DEATH is coming to theaters September 1 from Welcome Villain Films. Sam Curtain directed from a script by Curtain and Benjamin Jung-Clarke; Thomas Roach, David Tracy, Justan Wagner and Nicole Tudor star. The synopsis: “BEATEN TO DEATH unfolds after a desperate choice leads a man named Jack [Roach] down a path that leaves him beaten and bruised as he struggles against man, nature, and his own sanity. Stranded in the middle of nowhere after barely surviving a horrific assault, Jack encounters one local after another and quickly learns that a sick game of cat and mouse is about to begin. Battling the deranged country psychos and the harsh landscape, Jack must go to extreme lengths to survive.”
