Philip Brophy's Body Melt is a catastrophe narrative. One sunny day in suburbia, a hideously dying man crashes his car into Pebbles Court, Homesville. He's been brought to the point of meltdown by an experimental drug marketed as "Vimuville" vitamins, and he's arrived, too late, to warn the Court's inhabitants not to swallow the sample dropped in their mailboxes. So then the story scatters: a businessman (William McInnes), beset by increasing hallucinations, picks up a strange woman at the airport and takes her home; two rowdy wog teenagers (Nick Polites and Maurie Annese) get waylaid at a run-down farm of a seemingly inbred family (a subterranean motif in disreputable Australian movies including Razorback [1984] and Sky Pirates [1986]); a yuppie family journeys to a sinister health resort (similar to the one in Claude Chabrol's Dr M, aka Club Extinction [1990]); an expectant woman (Lisa McCune) at home begins to feel mighty queasy.

It's an important aspect of the headlong momentum of the film that the scattered lines of its narrative catastrophe become a bit blurred and elliptical. The teens, for instance, are left at the scary high-point of their tale - circling madly, with their predators moving in for the kill. The pregnant woman's husband (Brett Climo) is taken away by the police at a point in the film where you instinctively decide to forget all about him - until he explodes like a time bomb at the cop shop, providing a big finale. This pervasive sense of a terrifying and magical 'narrative space' that gets away from you, that is littered with bobby traps, forgotten possibilities and surprises is as crucial to Body Melt as it is to contemporary horror-fantasy cinema generally (John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness [1995] offers a distinguished example).

And there's a certain soap star I was surprised to see in it :

About 6 years ago I purchased a bunch of bubble-gum with horror stickers in it on a Croatian vacation.
Now I know that one of them was from a scene of this movie.
Thanks, I have to see this. :wink:
