Coming to us from famous Peter Jackson (Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, Brain Dead, Bad Taste) this touching movie made a big impact
when it was released in 1994. Based on true events it depicts the intense relationship between two young girls that would have a tragic outcome. Set in the fifties where if two girls were more than friends they were considered almost crazy, this movie is very artistic. That especially shows in the segments that Pauline and Juliet show in their imaginary land… It is really surprising to see Peter do something like this after Bad Taste and Brain Dead, but I guess the fact that the events took place in New Zealand had something to do with it. Movie is not that fast, but is pretty good, enjoy…

Fun Stuff: Almost all locations used for filming were the genuine locations where the events occurred. The tea shop where Honora Parker ate her last meal was knocked down a few days after the shoot ended. According to director Peter Jackson, when they got to the location of the murder on the dirt path, it was eerily quiet; the birds stopped singing, and it didn’t seem right. So they moved along a couple of hundred yards.
