Brace yourselves for a bizarre yet true-to-life tale in the upcoming horror flick, The Emu War, inspired by the peculiar events of the “Great Emu War” of 1932. Reminiscent of the cult classic Birdemic series, this film promises to serve up a healthy dose of cheesy thrills. Get a sneak peek with the official trailer released this morning.

In The Emu War, we witness a motley crew of soldiers facing off against Australia’s deadliest feathered foes. Driven by vengeance for the kidnapping of his son by emus, Major Meredith leads his platoon into a savage battle against the flightless beasts. Their mission: to take down the emu leader, known as the Queen Emu, behind enemy lines.

Directed by Lisa Fineberg, John Campbell, and Jay Morrissey, and written by the trio alongside Jonathan Schuster, Dane Simpson, and Urvi Majumdar, The Emu War promises an unapologetically ludicrous and action-packed war epic.

The cast includes Damian Callinan, Lisa Fineberg, Aaron Gocs, Dane Simpson, Ben Russell, Lena Moon, Jonathan Schuster, Cameron James, Naomi Higgins, Ethan Marrell, and Luke McGregor.

While the film’s U.S. release date is yet to be announced, fans can anticipate a wild and wacky ride. Stay tuned for updates.
