The Tale Of Ruby Rose (1987)


An extremely weird and somewhat obscure Drama/Horror set on the island of Tasmania in the 1920's.  It was written and directed by beloved Aussie filmmaker Roger Scholes.  Filmed entirely in the bleak and scarily beautiful Tasmanian highlands, the story centers around a young woman taken to this place by her husband and there she lives with him and his almost grown son.  The horrifying bleakness of the place begins to take a psychological toll on her and strange things unfold from her sense of loneliness and need to reconnect to her family.
