Houseboat Horror

A film crew composed of media types and party animals from the city embarks on a road trip to record music videos of a hard-living rock band at rural Lake Infinity.

The visiting rock band with film crew, stop for fuel at a petrol station and is given an uneasy reception by locals who seem wary or suspicious of outsiders.

Acid Head's arm and fist are then seen emerging sharply and victoriously from the waters of Lake Infinity, indicating that he has survived the attempts on his life and is still at large.

Deborra-Lee Furness helped cast the movie by bringing in participants from an acting workshop she attended, while Petherick brought in crew members from the television programmes he worked on.

Martin only directed the movie for three days before the crew told Petherick they wanted to leave and the producer fired him, bringing in Kendal Flanagan to finish production.

Elements were added by Petherick to get an R rating, including swearing, drug paraphernalia, and nudity, with a stripper from St. Kilda brought to the location to film a skinny-dipping scene.

Only Dale, Mannix and effects supervisor Nick Dorning were paid for their work, with everyone else deferring their salaries for future profits, which wound up never coming once the movie was released directly to video.
