FFFA: Climate of the Hunter

“Climate of the Hunter never sacrifices its smarts for fun (or vice versa), but with its dazzling visuals and hypnotic descent downwards into a seemingly inevitable chaos, the film’s delights are ultimately as sensorial as they are intellectual.”

Australian Premiere

Two sisters, Alma and Elizabeth, are enjoying a stay at their family cabin, eagerly anticipating the arrival of a man from their past, Wesley. It is rumoured that Wesley's wife, Genevieve, has ended up incapacitated in a mental institution, rendering Wesley, to some extent, a new bachelor. Throughout their time spent together, Alma begins to suspect Wesley may be a vampire, though she also suffers from mental health issues. Elizabeth is aware of Alma's deteriorating condition but has her own demons to face in this gothic, psychological drama.
