The Royal Hotel

Having partied away all their cash in Sydney, American backpackers Hannah (Julia Garner) and Liv (Jessica Henwick) sought out a work-tourism gig--and opted for tending bar at a seedy hotel pub deep in the Outback. As they settled in, they initially shrugged off the macho posturing of the mining community locals as regional color...but the environment's tension is all too ready to escalate into real danger. Kitty Green's unnerving thriller co-stars Hugo Weaving, James Frecheville, Toby Wallace, Daniel Henshall. 91 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital 5.1; Subtitles: English.
