About
Five Dunedin students find themselves in a free squat — and a dark place — after taking a criminal captive in their basement. The debut feature from Rob Sarkies starts out as a comic tribute to Otago student days, then turns into a psychological thriller. Outside of the two Warriors movies, Scarfies was the most successful Kiwi release of the 1990s on its home turf. It scooped six awards at the 2000 NZ Film and TV Awards, including Best Film, Director, Screenplay, and supporting actor wins for Jon Brazier and Ashleigh Seagar.
