Redball Synopsis

 

"Confronting . . . Controversial . . .
Compelling . . .
Blasts from the screen like the cinematic progeny of some unholy union."

~Melbourne International Film Festival

 

Two detectives (Belinda McClory, John Brumpton) are assigned to solve a series of grisly murders of children committed by a killer dubbed "Mr. Creep". However, when their investigation leads them towards someone in their own squad room as the killer, the female detective edges on a total breakdown as she loses faith in her fellow officers. The film explores the decadence and corruption that exists in the police force.

 

"An incisive, decisive and concise film about working and living in the belly of the
police beast."

~ Andrew L. Urban, urbancinefile

 

A dedicated and honest homicide detective begins to crack under the strain of the cynicism and lawlessness surrounding her. While she's always been a good cop, J J (Belinda McClory, The Matrix) has grown disgusted with the rampant corruption and abuse of power that goes on around her - ranging from simple laziness in procedural matters to brutal violence and rape committed by her fellow officers.

 

JJ is assigned to investigate a string of especially grisly child killings committed by an unknown serial killer the police have nicknamed Mr. Creep. When evidence begins to suggest Mr. Creep may be a member of the police department, some of JJ's colleagues fear she's burnt out and may just snap - bringing down the whole department. Meanwhile Mr. Creep may be stalking her. Don't miss this edgy, award-winning thriller from Australia!

 

 

"Powerful depiction of police corruption in an Australian city."

~ David Stratton, Variety
