" Seething with grit, dark humour and a brotherhood that's twisted in a dark love ... visceral and stunning, one of the early gems of 2018 ... highly recommended, 9/10" - SpoilerFreeMovieSleuth.com

​

" A Coen Brothers comedy ... becomes a Hitchcockian thriller .. Brothers' Nest will make you laugh, then hold tight to the armrest of your seat, then ultimately cry" - FlickeringMyth.com

​

On a cold morning in the middle of country Victoria, two brothers arrive at the family home intent on murdering their stepfather Roger.

 

Terry and Jeff's motive is simple - killing their step-dad will render their dying Mother's plan to change her will in his favor redundant. A staged "suicide" has been meticulously planned but there is one thing the boys didn't take into account; spending the entire day together.

​

Old grudges, different worldviews and a general troubled history will pit these two brothers against each other. 'Brothers' Nest' is a tragic comedy about family, loyalty and murder - because after all "blood is thicker than water".

​

Brothers' Nest had its world premiere at SXSW Festival in March 2018.

​

The film was released in Australian cinemas on June 21 2018.
