A group of friends gets together for a weekend in the country to celebrate one of their forthcoming nuptials.

It’s a bucks party in the bush with booze, drugs and a blow-up doll — what could go wrong?

Well, plenty, as shown in the new Australian horror flick, Birdeater.

It’s the debut feature film from Sydney-based friends Jack Clark and Jim Weir, who told ABC RN’s The Screen Show that many of the film’s details were inspired by real life.

Clark, who attended a Sydney private school, says: “There are definitely parts of it that are … fragments of stories or often moments of parties that we wanted to re-create. There were never whole images of people, but we definitely stole wholesale from people in our social circles.”
