Release.
The film was selected to open the 1978 Sydney Film Festival and was harshly received.
Reception.
Paul Byrnes of "Australian Screen Online" wrote the following in his review:
"The film is a savage satire on the neuroses of the privileged of Sydney’s eastern suburbs, where White lived, and the director Jim Sharman grew up. Much of the satire verges on invective, and the film was criticised for being ponderous, pretentious and condescending. Parts of it are like that—especially some of the dialogue—but the film also has some moments where everything works."

Plot summary.
The story is about an alien experiment on 4 guys camping. The film's script had a plot in which the viewer did not know what would happen next, as odd events occurred quite often. This is because its script displayed a series of tests with no logical progression or reward mechanism. Also the characters are unaware of the agenda and overall plan.
Video availability.
The film was only distributed on VHS.
Reception.
A review by "Entertainment Weekly" noted that the "plot suggests "Deliverance" and "Predator" poured into a blender, but as long as it keeps you wondering what on earth is going on, it’s perversely intriguing. But it spoils the fun by telling you what’s going on and then becomes just another goofy monster movie."
Film critic Joe Kane wrote that the film "boasts a potentially fun premise that's largely done in by poor, often boring execution."
Leonard Maltin rated it above average and described it as an "offbeat sci-fi thriller involving four hunters in the New Mexico badlands whose bodies and minds are invaded by a supernatural force."

Billie Ritchie

Billie Ritchie (14 September 1878 – 6 July 1921) was a Scottish comedian who first gained transatlantic fame as a performer for British music hall producer Fred Karno—this, a full decade before Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin took a similar career path. Ritchie is best recalled today for the silent comedy shorts he made between 1914 and 1920 for director/producer Henry Lehrman's L-KO Kompany and Fox Film Sunshine Comedy unit.
Biography.
Variations on Ritchie's "tramp" and "drunk" personae – which Ritchie claimed he had developed before and during his Karno years – were introduced to film audiences by Charlie Chaplin in such shorts as the Lehrman-directed "Kid Auto Races at Venice" (7 February 1914) and "Mabel's Strange Predicament" (9 February 1914).
Ritchie, who, due to a series of on-set injuries, spent his final years relatively inactive, succumbed to stomach cancer in the summer of 1921. Winifred Frances, the comedian's widow, and one-time stage partner, wound up in the employ of Charlie Chaplin as a wardrobe mistress, showing there was no animosity between the two performers. Wyn Ritchie, their daughter, was also a performer, and, in private life, the wife (of 55 years) of songwriter Ray Evans.
In popular culture.
In 1918 Dutch illustrator David Bueno de Mesquita created a comic book about Ritchie named "Billie Ritchie en Zijn Ezel" ("Billie Ritchie and his Donkey"). This was the first celebrity comic in Dutch history.
