SUMMARY

This special limited edition slipcover (designed by Lucas Peverill) is limited to 1,000 units and is only available on the Vinegar Syndrome website and at select indie retailers, like The Movie Room. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

Umbrella Entertainment has been a 100% Australian-owned and operated distributor for over 20 years. Their vast home entertainment catalogue features an extensive range of Australian classic, cult and exploitation films restored under the eyes of the original filmmakers. All sourced from national archives, underground collectors and local basements.

Confined by his mysterious employers to a luxury high-rise apartment, wheelchair-bound computer programmer Ed Ballinger (Gary Day), attempts to correct a malfunction in the I-500 – the world’s most sophisticated surveillance system. Confronted by increasingly bizarre readouts, he discovers that not only is the computer’s intelligence growing – but it has witnessed a vicious murder!

Ed becomes obsessed with solving the crime – and soon both man and machine are plunged into a vortex of technological horror…

Boasting a pulse-pounding, blood-soaked finale and one of Ozploitation cinema’s most iconic jolt moments (featuring a severed head in a washing machine), Crosstalk is a stylish cinematic blend of Hitchcock, Kubrick and Italian giallo shocks.

Crosstalk is presented in a new 2K transfer approved by the film’s cinematographer, Vincent Monton (Long Weekend, Roadgames), showcasing all of its neon lit anamorphic widescreen visuals – and cementing its reputation as Ozploitation’s premiere hi-tech thriller of the 1980s.
