Producing distinctly Australian horror to terrify the world

AUSTRALIA

A land as famous for its beautiful beaches and awesome outback as it is infamous for the dangers that dwell within them.

Be it our beautiful beaches, spectacular bush or stunning outback, the Australian landscape is home to some of the deadliest animals on the planet… and they’re just the creatures we know about.

Sheer beauty and fatal threats existing together like nowhere else on the planet.

We at Rural Legends aim to create horror movies that share this unparalleled contrast.

Tales of true terror told against the singular canvas that is Australia.

Our goal: to create Aussie horror movies that are so scary you’ll shat your dacks.

OUR GOAL

To create Aussie horror movies that are so scary you’ll shat your dacks.

But we want to do more than that.

Our hope is to encourage different people from all across Australia to come together and tell their own stories while also educating young dreamers of the opportunities available to them to participate in the Australian film industry that help support those stories.

It takes many hands to help craft a movie.

Our ambition is to foster an inclusive culture that brings together anyone who wants to tell their story and teaches them to work collaboratively to that story… and help scare the shit out of the world in doing so.
