A while back
our cobber King Kos recommended a 1993 Ausploitation horror flick by the name of
Body Melt. Very relevant to Martorialist interests, the movie is a gross-out splatterfest in the vein of Peter Jackson's
early flicks which features such Aussie TV luminaries as him wot played Harold Bishop in
Neighbours, him wot played Toby Mangel in
Neighbours, and him wot played Matthew the ghost in
Round The Twist series two. But the best thing about
Body Melt has gotta be the soundtrack by the movie's director Philip Brophy. Each character/set of characters has their own theme, with the highlight being the score for the baddest bitch Australian big pharma has ever seen AKA Shaan. On one hand, it's the least Australian song ever because it sounds like one of Yuzo Kishora's Rave-inspired
Streets of Rage tracks. On the other hand, the song has a gonzo bluntness which is pure Aussie bogan. Throw the
good sportsmanship on the Bar-B, m8.

Harold Bishop: The Gory Years.
Kind of hilarious that the cast were at some time or another in Neighbours, Home and Away or Blue Healers. 😀
