Don’t do drugs! Or for that matter, health supplements!

After a mysterious car crash shatters the peace of suburban cul-de-sac Pebbles Court, the residents soon start to receive unexpected samples of an experimental vitamin made by a strange health spa named Vimuville.

Senior detective Sam Phillips (Gerard Kennedy) and his rookie partner Johnno (Andrew Daddo) soon discover that the accident may all be part of a diabolical plan to experiment on the residents of Pebbles Court with a radical new designer drug… with unexpected (and slimy) side effects!

Boasting a cast of Aussie TV favourites, including Ian Smith (Neighbours’ Harold Bishop) - and graphic gore effects created by make-up master Bob McCarron (Braindead) - director Philip Brophy’s Body Melt is a satirical splatter-fest packed with more slime, ooze and snot than you ever thought possible.

The screening will be introduced by Dr Stephen Morgan, a Lecturer of Film Studies at King's College London and co-programmer of the London Australian Film Society & Festival. He has written a guide to contemporary Indigenous horror for the BFI website, contributed video extras to Ozploitation releases by Indicator, and insists that Wake in Fright is a pretty accurate documentary about the violent hospitality of small town Australia.
