The cult classic Wake in Fright really gets under your skin. It tells the harrowing story of a city slicker’s slow descent into madness while stranded in a small outback town called 'The Yabba'.
A group of unruly locals lead him down a dark path where drunken benders, gambling and blood sports are the norm. In the US, the film was simply titled Outback, while the Czechs went with One-horse Town.
The Polish translation, At the End of the World (Na Krańcuświata), best captures the story’s themes of despair and isolation. The poster, with artwork by Wiktor Górka, masterfully captures the terror depicted in this outback tale, illustrating grotesque faces of men inciting alcohol-fuelled violence.
