Writer-Director Donna McRae Talks ‘Lost Gully Road’

Indie filmmaker Donna McRae’s new indie film Lost Gully Road has just been released. I had the pleasure of talking with McRae about the film and other projects.

Movie Review: Lost Gully Road (2017)

Lucy (Adele Perovic) hauls ass to that hoary ol’ chestnut; a secluded cabin in the woods, to escape from her mega-shit relationship.

Even with those two scamps, the days become a sea of boredom, and even though the promise of relief in the form of a visit from Lucy’s sister Cassie is looming large, the stay at the cabin begins to become right shit.

Donna McRae‘s critically acclaimed horror film Lost Gully Road is set to haunt US audiences this December. The “gothic-tinged Aussie ghost story” (Filmink) stars Adele Perovic (The Code), Jane Clifton (Beast), and John Brumpton (The Loved Ones), with a mesmerizing musical score by Clare Moore and Dave Graney. Lost Gully Road tells the story of Lucy, a directionless young woman who travels to a secluded cottage in the forest to wait for her sister. With no television and little communication with the outside world, she spends her days alone and drinking to pass the time. That is until her unexpected host decides to keep her company… In the tradition of The Babadook and Lake Mungo, Lost Gully Road arrives on DVD and Digital December 3rd from Wild Eye Releasing.
