The HorsemanSteven Kastrissios' gritty revenge film rewrites the book in its unrelenting vision of a grieving father who will stop at nothing to get back at the men that killed his daughter.
The film's breathless pace and no holds barred approach creates a visceral punch with enormous power and resonance.
Armed with an array of 'chair squirming' weaponry, including a flame thrower, a crow bar and a glue gun, star Peter Marshall brings an understated intensity to the carnage depicted on screen.
The Horseman's dark undertones are tempered somewhat by the surprisingly touching bond that develops between the grief stricken father and a young runaway played by Caroline Marohasy.
Thursday's session will be introduced by director Steven Kastrissios with a Q&A after the screening.
