Director: Adam Blaiklock Writers: Adam Blaiklock, Matt Tomaszewski, Joe Velikovsky Starring: Ben Oxenbould, Daisy Betts, Sam Lyndon, Simon Lyndon, Leeanna Walsman, Harry Cook, Peter Phelps Caught Inside is a not-so-tall tale of how rationally real (not reel) people would react to a brutish man like Bull (Ben Oxenbould). I am getting ahead of myself though, so please allow me to back my ass up a bit... A group of impeccably attractive Aussie blokes charter a private boat -- the aptly named Hedonist -- captained by Skipper Joe (Peter Phelps) for a surfing safari to a remote island located somewhere off the coast of Thailand with radical swells and tubular breaks; Bull is along for the ride because he is the key to finding the clandestine locale.

Caught Inside
Directed by Adam Blaiklock
Written by Joe Velikovsky, Matt Tomaszewski, Adam Blaiklock
Australia, 2010
Caught Inside, an Australian film in the Narrative Feature category at SXSW this year is itself, caught somewhere between psychological thriller and horror flick, but it’s a sweet spot that director Adam Blaiklock exploits masterfully.
A group of twenty-somethings depart on a chartered boat in the gorgeous, sparkling Maldives for a surfing trip. Everything is marvelous, until one of the surfers who is both exceedingly sensitive and macho, goes berserk after an incident with one of the women on board. Out in the middle of the ocean, the isolation that was once the ideal quickly becomes the enemy and with no help for miles, the expeditioners find themselves pawns in one man’s terrifying and sad game of revenge.
Key to the thrill behind this film is its frightening plausibility. Every day we brush...

Boat-locked dramas have held their place among low-budget thrillers for some time. “Dead Calm,” “Open Water” and “Donkey Punch” have proffered a variety of versions of people locked in a precarious place with nowhere to go but down.
This time, young Australian filmmaker Adam Blaiklock casts a group of fairly seasoned Australian television actors and takes them to Thailand, where cheap fish and boat charters lure thousands of similarly minded southerners each year. This team has leased a vessel called “Hedonist” for what was supposed to be a boys’ surfing trip but now consists of four guys, two girls, a skipper and his crew. The two girls are two...
