The click of a fashion photographer’s camera started her on a career that led to terror and death! A young, impressionable trainee hairdresser, Angela (Sigrid Thornton), becomes a media sensation after posing topless for an advertising campaign. Thrust into the high stakes world of glamour and fame, Angela discovers that she is being stalked by a mysterious psychopath - in a Mr. Whippy van! Could the unseen psycho be the seductive lesbian super model (Chantal Contouri), the kinky photographer (Hugh Keays-Byrne), the lecherous film producer (Robert Bruning) or Angela’s devoted - but unstable - boyfriend (Vincent Gill). All will be revealed in this taut and titillating thriller from Ozploitation A-team producer Antony I. Ginnane, director Simon Wincer, screenwriter Everett De Roche and cinematographer Vincent Monton. (Umbrella Entertainment)

The Day After Halloween is a film that, upon a brief glance, has a rather interesting story. It's supposedly shot with the visual style of giallo, but in reality, it's closer to European art cinema, from which the artistic aspect eventually disappeared. There's very little horror here, which is a problem because the theme calls for it. But I guess that would just make it another uninteresting slasher movie.

The Australian thriller Snapshot approaches the Italian Giallo genre in style at times and generally intoxicates the viewer with inventive camera shots and very distinctive music, but for God's sake nobody needed such a plotless and drawn-out film. Visually it's beautiful, but be armed with an extra dose of patience before the screening.
