After a bit of a delay, the local Blu-ray release of the 1981 Australian shocker THE SURVIVOR (based on the novel by UK horror writer James Herbert) finally hit the shelves a couple of weeks back, and looks like another great, extras-packed treat from the folks at Glass Doll Films. I was thrilled to be asked to write the booklet essay for this release (as I have done for several other releases from Glass Doll) and it turned out great. 28 pages packed with some fantastic rare photos from this Antony I. Ginnane production. Other extras that are exclusive to this local release are some rare behind-the-scenes Super 8 footage shot by stuntman Dean Bennett when he was still a young student lucky enough to be doing some work experience on the set of the film. An Ozploitation essential.
