Umbrella Entertainment is Chasing Ozploitation Classic ‘Fair Game’ to Blu-ray
If you’re a big supporter of physical media and home video you really need to be keeping tabs on Australia’s Umbrella Entertainment. The rate at which they announce new and exciting titles is bordering on insanity. Earlier this week I talked about their upcoming release of Orca and now we can go ahead and add 1986’s Fair Game to their soon-to-be-released collection because it’s coming to Blu-ray on January 3rd.
I’m happy anytime any film is announced for Blu-ray because the more films that can be converted to a physical media form, the better. And if that movie happens to be an awesome Ozploitation movie, then cheers all around! Fair Game is most certainly awesome and don’t take my word for it, watch this awesome trailer with Quentin Tarantino sharing his thoughts on this wonderful film!
Jessica (Cassandra Delaney) is young woman who runs a wildlife sanctuary in the Australian outback. She is in for a world of trouble when three bored kangaroo hunters, Sunny (Peter Ford), Sparks (Garry Who) and Ringo (David Sandford) turn their sites on the animals in her sanctuary. When they see how attractive the owner is, they decide to have a little “fun” with her, too… but they get more than they bargained for as Jessica fights back.
After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.
Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.
Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.
Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.
Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.
Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.
I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”
What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
