The Royal Hotel
A fun adventure is all they wanted.
Directed by Kitty Green
Produced by Scarlett Pictures, See-Saw Films
A tense, gritty thriller about two female friends trapped in a hostile, misogynist environment where a casual job becomes a nightmare of escalating harassment and danger.
After running out of money while backpacking in a tiny, male-dominated town in the Australian outback, two friends resort to a working holiday at the Royal Hotel. When the locals' behavior starts crossing the line, the girls find themselves trapped in an unnerving situation that grows rapidly out of their control.
