Fair Game (1986)
6/10
Australian 'I Spit On Your Grave' Ozploitation flick is compact and enjoyable

Warning: Spoilers
Another Ozploitation film from the 1980s made on a low budget and before home video took over the drive-in cinemas.

Actually kept me hooked for its admittedly compact running time.

It follows a sort of revenge storyline as an outback nature reserve keeper (a lady alone for a few days, Jessica (Cassandra Delaney)) comes under attack from a gang of three kangaroo hunting thugs.

The kangaroo hunting complete with souped up 4x4 vehicle has elements of Wake In Fright (1971).

Jessica starts the film under attack but by the end has developed quite handy booby trap techniques to defend herself and her pony and pet Border Collie dog.

Admittedly has elements of films like I Spit In Your Grave but with an Australian outback element.

The 1980s music score adds to the enjoyment of the film.

These Ozploitation films deliver cheap B film thrills. However if you go into the viewing with an open mind you more often than not will enjoy it.
