Synopsis
The Horseman (2008) is Steven Kastrissios' brutal Australian crime thriller, now available to watch online on iFILM. Christian has just buried his daughter when a videotape lands in his mailbox — footage of her final hours, and clear shots of the men who put her there.
What follows is a road trip through hell. Driving the empty outback highways, Christian works through the names one by one, and every stop ends in blood. Along the way he picks up a teenage runaway, and an odd, almost fatherly bond forms between them — she has no idea what he leaves behind between conversations. Peter Marshall plays grief as a quiet rage that burns him hollow.
Kastrissios' debut earned its reputation on the sheer ferocity of its kills; this is not slick action but heavy, physical filmmaking about revenge and what it costs the man taking it. Not for the squeamish, but fans of unflinching genre thrillers will get exactly what they came for. Stream The Horseman (2008) online on iFILM.
