When they’re not doing fantastic horror comedies, filmmakers down under like to tell stories, it seems, of the horrors of the Australian outback – and the effect the barren landscape can have on people, be it mentally or physically. Some of which, like Wake in Fright and Walkabout, have gone on to be classics of the genre. Some, less so much. Which leads us to Outback, which tells the story of a young couple, Wade (Wiese) and Lisa (Lofberg), who head to Australia hoping to recharge their failing romance. When their Gps fails, they leave their car and head off on foot to find a new route. As night falls, they must spend the night in the bush without food, water, or weapons, surrounded by snakes, scorpions, and wild dogs.

Lionsgate has released an official trailer for an indie survival thriller titled Outback, which leans more towards horror thriller than adventure drama. Down Under for an adventure-filled vacation to rekindle their romance, a young American couple quickly finds themselves stranded in the unforgiving Australian outback. This is one of those concepts that seems so simple and obvious, you wonder why it hasn't been done before. But of course it has (e.g. Tracks), and yet here we are. Starring Brendan Donoghue, Lauren Lofberg, and Taylor Wiese. This looks horrifying, especially because it's all the dangerous animals that are worse than anything else. The snakes! Watch out. Here's the official Us trailer (+ poster) for Mike Green's Outback, direct from Lionsgate's YouTube: Outback tells the terrifying tale of a young couple lost in the wilderness and fighting for survival.

Scripted by Basha and set six year later, the sequel follows Morkos as he is still haunted by the events that led to his death of his brother. As he begins to rebuild his life he finds solace in the boxing ring at his local gymnasium.
