Wake in Fright is a 1961 Australian pulp classic, turned into an infamous cult film of the same name. It tells the story of an Englishman, John Grant, teaching in one-room school in a remote Australian town who tries to get back to Sydney for Christmas holidays. Instead, he ends up broke and stranded in a small mining town, at the mercy of the locals and his life slowly turns into a bloody and alcohol-infused nightmare. The book has just been adapted again as a two-part miniseries set to debut on Channel 10 later this year, so now is the perfect time to rediscover this gritty thriller.
