(aka "The Day After Halloween" or "Centrefold" or "One More Minute" or "The Night After Halloween")
Directed by Simon Wincer
Australia 1979
Chantal Contouri (Thirst),
Robert Bruning (Ned Kelly),
and Sigrid Thornton (Prisoner:
Cell Block H) star in Snapshot, a tense Australian thriller, that marked
the feature debut of director Simon Wincer (Harlequin,
D.A.R.Y.L.). *** Angela (Sigrid Thornton) is a young hair-dresser having a hard time making ends meet. Looking for a fast way to earn some extra money, she accepts a job working as a model. Soon, however, she gets the feeling that someone is watching her; following her…stalking her. Is it her deranged ice cream truck driving ex boyfriend? A psychotic admirer? Or someone more sinister… As Angela delves further into her new and sordid lifestyle, she finds herself growing closer and closer to the deadly truth. |

NOTE:
The below
Blu-ray
and
4K UHD
captures were taken directly from the respective
discs.
It
is likely that the monitor
you are seeing this review is not an
HDR-compatible
display (High Dynamic Range) or Dolby Vision, where each pixel can be assigned with a wider
and notably granular range of color and light. Our
capture software if simulating the HDR (in a uniform manner) for standard
monitors. This should make it easier for us to review more
4K UHD titles in the
future and give you a decent idea of its attributes on your system. So our
captures may not support the exact same colors (coolness of
skin tones, brighter or darker hues etc.) as the
4K system at your home. But the
framing, detail, grain texture support etc. are, generally, not effected by
this simulation representation.

On their
4K UHD,
Indicator use a DTS-HD Master mono track (24-bit) in the
original English language.
"Snapshot" has a couple of bar/disco scenes and a nasty
fire.
Even in the mono the audio effects can make themselves known. The,
much-discussed,
score is by
Brian May who composed for
Richard Franklin's
Road Games
and
Cloak-and-Dagger
plus other
Ozploitation
films like
The
Survivor, Turkey
Shoot, and
Nightmares sounding
inventive, and occasionally inappropriate, while supporting the film.
The agonizing Angela performed by Sherbet and a few tunes by Bob
Brown (aka 'Captain Rock') fill the film awkwardly.
The disc offers optional English (SDH) subtitles on both versions - and is, like all
4K UHD, region FREE,
playable worldwide.
There are plentiful
extras on the
4K UHD disc -Indicator
provide the 2017 audio commentary on the theatrical version with producer
Antony I Ginnane, director Simon Wincer, cinematographer Vincent Monton, and
actor Sigrid Thornton, moderated by Mark Hartley. There is also a 2018 audio
commentary on the director’s cut with Ginnane and film critic and archivist
Jaimie Leonarder. We also get a the 2012 audio commentary on the director’s
cut with Ginnane and horror hostess Katarina Leigh
Waters (yes, of Katarina's Nightmare Theater and
professional wrestler fame) introduces the film and moderates
with (as described by Eric) "producer Anthony Ginnane, who says that the production was
mounted quickly to get another thriller out on the market after
their international success with
Patrick. The original
script Centerfold was problematic, so he hired
Patrick
author Everett de Roche and his wife to put together a similar script about
two women in the fashion business in the space of two weeks."
Producing ‘Snapshot’ is from 2017 and has Antony I Ginnane revisit the
film’s shoot for shy of 1/2 hour. There are 40-minutes worth of interview
conducted by Mark Hartley for his 2008 documentary
Not Quite Hollywood: The
Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation!, featuring Thornton, Ginnane,
Wincer, Monton, writer Everett De Roche, assistant director Tom Burstall,
and actor Lynda Stoner. There is an archival audio interview with Simon
Wincer from 1979 running over 1/4 hour plus a short archival audio interview
with stuntman Grant Page entitled "Elements of Danger". We get a new
10-minute appreciation of ‘Snapshot’ by Australian cinema specialist Stephen
Morgan. We can see the alternative The Day After Halloween opening
titles, original theatrical trailers, TV spots and three image galleries of:
promotional and publicity material, behind the scenes and script details.
The package offers a limited edition exclusive 80-page book with a new essay
by Ian Barr; an exclusive extract from producer Ginnane’s unpublished
memoirs; archival interviews with director Simon Wincer, screenwriter
Everett De Roche, and composer Brian May, and full film credits. |
