The Great Southern Creature Feature : Luke Sparke's Red Billabong Emma Westwood , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Metro Magazine , Summer vol. 191 no. 2017; (p. 26-29) Particularly because of its unique fauna, flora, topography and history, Australia provides fertile ground for makers of horror films. In the case of Red Billabong, an outback setting and Aboriginal mythology come together to culminate in a quintessentially Australian example of the 'natural horror' subgenre. Emma Westwood speaks to director Luke Sparke about his influences and the origins of his feature debut.
