East Side Walkabout



Walkabout doesn't go out of its way to explain anything really, which is weirdly refereshing. Like the protagonists, we're kept in the dark and left to take in the imagery, which is raw. Even so we were naturally inclined to put a backstory on it.

Walkabout begins with anthropologist who decides to do a case study in the Outback, but for reasons unbeknownst to us, takes his children with him. Obvz, he gets lost with no gas and only as much food as can fit in a picnic basket. You can guess what happens next. Or can you?

Here's a hint, it's not as scary as you might think. Which technically means it could be much scarier. Which is it? Easily both.
