Theysit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Poseidon Adventure, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Bundanyabba, Australia. Summer. A fly buzzing. A schoolteacher stuck in a remote town, gambling away his savings. Descent into sun-baked delirium and beer-soaked violence. Seventies outback nightmare fuel; viewer discretion is advised.
