Early Frost

About This Movie

Early Frost is an intriguing mix of drama and horror, steeped in that grimy 80s atmosphere that makes the suburbs feel a bit off-kilter. Guy Doleman plays Mike Hayes, a private detective with a knack for digging up dirt, and he certainly finds more than he bargained for. The pacing is steady yet tense, drawing you into the unsettling lives of these two families. It’s gritty, with a palpable sense of dread that builds as the layers of deception unfold. The practical effects used in the reveal of the corpse are quite a standout, and the performances, particularly from Doleman, add a weight to the narrative that gives it depth. A unique slice of Australian cinema that lingers in your mind.
