The Book Of Shadows
''Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2'' is a 2000 American metafiction horror film directed and co-written by Joe Berlinger and starring Jeffrey Donovan, Stephen Barker Turner, Kim Director, Erica Leerhsen, and Tristine Skyler. Its plot revolves around a group of people fascinated by the mythology surrounding the film ''The Blair Witch Project''; they go into the Black Hills where the original film was shot and experience supernatural phenomena and psychological unraveling. Originally conceived by Berlinger and co-writer Dick Beebe as a psychological thriller and meditation on mass hysteria, ''Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2'' was significantly altered in postproduction, which Berlinger would later claim compromised his original vision. Among the changes were a new soundtrack, additional editing, and the integration of entirely new sequences. The film was released in theaters in North America and the United Kingdom on October 27, 2000. It received negative reviews from critics but was ...

Mullet (film)
''Mullet'' is an Australian film released in 2001, written and directed by David Caesar, and starring Ben Mendelsohn, Susie Porter and Andrew Gilbert. Plot summary In the film, Eddie (Ben Mendelsohn) returns to his home town on the south coast of New South Wales. Having left for the city without explanation 3 years ago, he tries to pick up the pieces of his life and fit back into the lives of those he left, including his ex-girlfriend Tully (Susie Porter) and brother Pete (Andrew Gilbert).

The drama of the developing relationships is supported by very dry comedy (archetypical Australian humour) and detailed but understated design.
