description Snowtown Overview

Snowtown is a deeply disturbing Australian film based on the true story of the 'Bodies in the Barrels' murders. It is an incredibly bleak, slow-moving film that focuses on the psychological manipulation of a young boy by a serial killer. The film is effective because of its commitment to realism and its refusal to sensationalize the crimes. However, it is an extremely difficult watch, bordering on traumatic for some viewers.

It is ranked here because, while it is a powerful piece of filmmaking, its subject matter is profoundly unsettling and not for general audiences.
