Snowtown, the brutal Australian crime thriller that shell-shocked audiences in Cannes last year, hits Blu-ray and DVD today, and to give you a taste of what to expect, you can watch a scene below.
The film, based on true events, follows 16-year-old Jamie (Lucas Pittaway), as he slowly gets drawn under the wing of charismatic killer John Bunting (Daniel Henshall).
Snowtown avoids genre clichés in favour of dusty, filmed-on-location realism gut-shredding suspense, as evidenced in the mesmerising, intense footage below.
Watch the clip now:

Saw this the other month.. excellent film but very harrowing. It's the only film I've watched as an adult where I had to look away from the screen at one point.. not for the easily disturbed
