Inspired by the true story of the sinking of the HMAS Armidale in 1942, the latest film by writer-director Kiah Roache-Turner – maestro filmmaker of the popular Wyrmwood action-horror franchise – is both a sincere tribute to fallen soldiers and a rollicking monster movie.
To celebrate the release, we have some in-season double-passes to giveaway to Novastream readers to see Beast of War in cinemas.
The WWII survival thriller stars award-winning Broome actor Mark Coles Smith as Leo, an Indigenous soldier fighting for survival with his squadron of Aussie troops after a devastating attack at sea. When Japanese fighter jets destroy their warship in 1943, Leo and his troops face dual threats: enemy forces above, and their unseen predator – drawn to the scene of blood – circling below. The supporting cast features a fresh lineup of rising screen talent including Sam Delich (Territory), Joel Nankervich (Red Belly), and Lee Tiger Halley (Boy Swallows Universe).
Employing practical effects for its killer shark and impressively lensed by cinematographer Mark Wareham (Boy Swallows Universe), Beast of War is a heart-stopping cinematic experience not to be missed!
