With Australia becoming a major production hub for genre film over the past several years - the Matrix films, Star Wars prequels and Superman Returns all shot there - and upcoming documentary Not Quite Hollywood shining a loving light on the nation's b-movie history it seems only fitting that Australia is once again producing genre pictures of their own. The Edgerton Brothers seem to have their fingers in a huge percentage of these new films and that is once again the case with Jon Hewitt's Acolytes, in which Joel Edgerton plays a key role. Here's a synopsis:

James Tresswick and Mark Vincent are victims of a brutal bully Gary Parker who has maltreated both boys, marking their bodies and spoiling their young lives. In their last year of high school, James and Mark find a way to stop being victims. They're going to kill Gary...

As dark as that sounds the kicker is how the kids set Gary up ... the first proper teaser for the film has just arrived and we've got it below the break in the Twitch Player.
