Snowtown (2011) - Official Trailer

Alongside "Red State" and "American History X", "Snowtown" brings the Australian indie horror/crime/thriller about the wild hopeless city suburbs, that you must watch.

Sixteen-year-old Jamie lives with his mother, Elizabeth, and two younger brothers, Alex and Nicholas, in a housing trust home in Adelaide's northern suburbs. Their home is but one of many sun-starved houses crammed together to cater for a disenfranchised society. Jamie longs for an escape from the violence and hopelessness that surrounds him and his salvation arrives in the form of John, a charismatic man who unexpectedly comes to his aid. As John spends more and more time with Jamie's family, Elizabeth and her boys begin to experience a stability and sense of family that they have never known. John moves from the role of Jamie's protector to that of a mentor, indoctrinating Jamie into his world, a world brimming with bigotry, righteousness and malice. Like a son mimicking his father, Jamie soon begins to take on some of John's traits and beliefs as he spends more and more time with him and his select group of friends...

Coming to theatres on May 19, 2011
Starring: Daniel Henshall and Lucas Pittaway

snowtown was an awesome film and puts he crap that america shits out and sells, to shame. i loved the raw grittiness of it and the steller acting. yeah it was hard to watch,but what made it amazing was that i was physically uncomfortable watching some scenes and in my opinion, thats what makes the movie so superb !theres something that is alluring about australian filmmaking.

I just came here to for the youtube comments (unfortunately not enough racism and / or anti-australian drama here. step it up, retards)

i havent seen this movie yet i tried watching it but it got too boring. i'll try again tho.

It reminded me of 'Animal Kingdom' which i thought was WAY overrated. embarrassing middle class fear.

look at how scary working class people are, the slower they talk, the scarier they are.

i dont think so.

For the record 'Little Fish' is the best australian film.

Lol you should watch the documentary of snowtown murders. :L Its more gruesome than the movie itself.
