The premise

An Australian urban legend comes screaming on the Ozploitation scene. It’s said that if you drive down the creepy road of Lemon Tree Passage, and witness a sudden flash of light in the trees, you'll be forever haunted by the tormented spirit of a man killed by thrill speeding teenagers. Wanting to put this old wives’ tale to the test, a car-load of non-believers take the supposedly cursed journey and do indeed see a strange manifestation. But it’s not the one of popular myth - this sudden possession of one of their number involves another altogether more shocking crime. That of a young girl raped and murdered on the same stretch of highway. As one urban legend trumps another, the scared passengers must sort out the facts of both cases before vengeful justice from beyond the grave can be meted out with moody atmosphere, ghostly thrills and supernatural suspense.

Horror Vault's take

Deep in the Australian bush, a notorious road carries the weight of local legend — and something far worse than folklore. A group of young travellers dare to test the myth of Lemon Tree Passage, only to discover that the truth lurking on that stretch of highway is more disturbing than any campfire story. What begins as a thrill-seeking road trip spirals into a desperate race to untangle overlapping supernatural forces tied to real-world violence. This slow-burn Aussie chiller blends ghost story tradition with genuine menace.
