Occupation ‘War Of The Worlds Aussie Style’ Getting January UK Release

Occupation (2018)

War of the Worlds Aussie-style, Occupation starring Temura Morrison (Once Were Warriors) is coming to the UK. As small-town residents fight alien invaders in a slam-bang sci-fi epic packed with dazzling effects and bug-eyed beasties.

Luke Sparke follows up his hugely enjoyable action-horror Red Billabong with a no-nonsense alien invasion epic. Mixing Red Dawn with Independence Day with an explosive burst of Ozploitation sci-fi entertainment. Don’t know how big a hit this was in Australian cinemas, there does seem to be a sequel already filmed.

Plenty nasty visitors from another planet, along with a band of feisty human fighters hopefully deliver some explosive action. If you enjoyed invasion flicks like Skyline and Battle: Los Angeles, you might dig this one.

There’s been no UK Version of the film’s Trailer released, but here’s U.S version…

After their small Australian town is annihilated by an airborne attack, a group of civilians evade capture, only to discover they are now among the last remaining survivors of an extraterrestrial invasion engulfing the entire planet.

As humanity falls under world-wide occupation, the small group form a home-grown army to fight back against vastly superior and utterly merciless enemy forces.

Fans of Home And Away fans will recognise several of the cast all exchanging Summer Bay for another Small Town. Dan Ewing (Played Heath), Stephany Jacobsen (also in Alex Cross) and Rhiannon Fish (also in The 100). Morrison will be known for his work in Star Wars franchise (mostly as Boba Fett’s father) soon be in Aquaman. Romper Stomper’s Jacqueline McKenzie, and the legendary Bruce Spence, the gyro pilot from Mad Max 2, almost unrecognisable as the towering alien leader.

The Conquest begins when Occupation is released on Blu-ray and DVD in the UK on 21st January 2019.
