The Red is a 2024 comedy horror film in which a remote Australian outback town is terrorised by a monstrous giant zombie kangaroo.
Blurb:
“Radioactive is excited to announce the theatrical release of The Red, an outrageous comedy horror set in the Australian outback, starring what promises to be Australia’s next iconic personality: Rippy—the giant zombie kangaroo. Rippy is your average bloke by day, and a terrifying Zombie Kangaroo by night.
In The Red, this unforgettable character is hell-bent on terrorising the remote town of Axehead and is set to become a beloved fixture in the international comedy/horror genre. Alongside Rippy, the film features an all-star Aussie cast, including Terminator and Alien legend Michael Biehn, Australian acting royalty Angie Milliken, Mystery Road’s Aaron Pedersen, and rising star Tess Haubrich.
Producer Jessica Butland shares her excitement: “This film is a wild ride from start to finish, delivering everything creature feature fans would expect from such an outrageous concept! It also delivers for mainstream audiences with its throwback to classic Aussie slang and pop culture.”
Building on the success of his 2014 short film Waterbourne, director Ryan Coonan brought this absurdly bloody tale to life. “The Red is a horror comedy film influenced by classic creature features such as The Thing, An American Werewolf in London, Jaws and Razorback.”
Plot:
Young police officer Maddy (Tess Haubrich) is determined to live up to her deceased father’s legacy. Her courage is put to the test when locals are found brutally ripped to shreds by a zombie kangaroo. As the undead beast leaves a trail of carnage, Maddy, with the help of her eccentric uncle Schmitty (Michael Biehn) and resilient aunt Donna (Angie Milliken), must embark on a high-stakes battle to save the town…
Release:
The Red is being released in Australia and New Zealand by Radioactive on October 31, 2024.
