Snowtown (2011) — "I'm only looking after you, mate."

True Crime Month continues with Snowtown, the feature debut from Justin Kurzel that landed him the job directing Assassin's Creed. Based on the real-life Snowtown murders in South Australia, the film follows teenager Jamie Vlassakis (Lucas Pittaway) as he is drawn into the charismatic orbit of John Bunting (Daniel Henshall), a hate-filled self-appointed vigilante whose crusade against the people he deems deviants spirals into a string of killings. It's an emotional rollercoaster that doesn't let up and is hard to watch at times. Chris Stachiw, the Doctor of Podcasting, digs into Justin Kurzel, Daniel Henshall, the Snowtown murders, Australian crime cinema, and so much more.
