Previously known as The Red.
Filmed in Queensland, Australia.
The creature effects reportedly come from Toby Barron (Thor: Ragnorok).
Based on director Ryan Coonan’s 2014 short film Waterborne. Coonan was quoted saying: “I can’t wait to bring the feature version of our short film to life. The short’s mix of drama from our real-world characters and the real terror that comes from our beast had such an amazing reaction from audiences around the world, so it’s going to be a privilege to experience that again when we bring The Red to the big screen.”
This is an Australian horror comedy that features a killer zombie kangaroo.
