Poltergeist down under
19 December 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Some years ago, some aboriginal Australians were raped and killed by some white rangers. The aboriginals then buried them in sacred ground, and then they too were all killed in a fight. Developer Sorenson built a housing community on the sacred ground over the objections and warnings of protesters. He also walled up a cave that had the skeleton of a kadaicha man in it. Supposedly it's under a supermarket, but it seemed to be behind under a road with no buildings around.

Teenagers living in the development one by one have a dream of the cave and the kadaicha man handing them a kadaicha stone, a rough clear crystal with some designs painted on it. They wake up with it next to them in bed. Later, they get killed by various wild creatures. As they turn to the "full blood" Billinudgel for help, they get a spirit stone, and he tries a ceremony, while the evil possesses one of them and starts doing poltergeist activity.

Not a bad movie, but nothing great. Having aboriginal Australians' burial grounds rather than native Americans is a slight twist, but it doesn't make much difference apart from the digeridoo on the soundtrack.
