Synopsis

Christian (Peter Marshall) is trying to come to terms with losing his daughter to a drugs overdose, when he is sent a horrifying tape of her performing in an amateur porn film. Enraged and disgusted, he sets out to track down those involved.

Using his own unique brand of brutal and inventive questioning, he moves closer to locating the final suspect. Along the way, he meets a young runaway, Alice (Caroline Marohasy), who tags along and eventually an unlikely bond develops that pushes Christian closer to the edge than ever.

A multi-award winning Australian movie that mixes elements of 8MM with the graphic reality of WOLF CREEK, The HORSEMAN is an unwavering study of revenge and retribution. Powerful and intense, it memorably explores how one man deals with loss and his own inner demons.
