Though often categorized as #Ozploitation, “Next of Kin” (Tony Williams, 1982; 2019) builds psychological suspense in a manner familiar to Hitchcock fans.
Linda (Jackie Kerin) returns home to her family estate—a retirement home in rural Australia. As she tends to the retirees & bf (John Jarrett), the camera come to feel predatory. Is she feeling OUR gaze? Who else IS watching her & why?
Klaus Schulze’s soundtrack adds to the tension. [TW: dead bodies; attempted rape].
