Ghosts of the
Civil Dead

Dir: John Hillcoat
Star: David Field, Mike Bishop, Chris DeRose, Kevin Mackey

[2] Australian film, set in a prison of the near future, detailing the events leading up to a 'lockdown', when the prisoners are confined to their cells. Minimal dialogue, told mostly in voiceover, it's not an easy film to watch. It's worth the effort, though it's completely pessimistic and brutally realistic nature makes it very different from other 'prison' films. Nice cameo from Nick Cave as a psycho and great stuff for paranoiacs. See it if you can.
