In the mid to late 90s, serial killer John Bunting groomed teenager Jamie Vlassakis to commit multiple murders under the guise of protecting their Adelaide suburb from pedophiles and queer men. Director Justin Kurzel and screenwriter Shaun Grant adapt the horrifying true story of the "bodies in the barrels" in the 2011 film Snowtown, which is an incredibly difficult, but important, watch. C/W: animal abuse, sexual assault, and torture

Correction: Joe incorrectly states Adelaide is the capitol of Australia (it's actually Canberra)
