Production has wrapped on the action-horror feature Headless, a contemporary reimagining of the Headless Horseman mythology.

Filmed on the Gold Coast, the screenplay is co-written by Queensland-based writer Shayne Armstrong (Bait), Shane Krause (The Darkness) and Noel O’Riordan (Somebody’s Daughter). The production also includes emerging talent Damian Lang as Associate Producer, supporting the next generation of homegrown filmmakers.

Starring Australia’s Mel Jarnson (Mortal Kombat, Killer Whale) and Ryan Corr (In Limbo, Packed to the Rafters, Underbelly), Headless follows a rudderless hitchhiker and a driven woman seeking vengeance for her family’s murder as they attempt to stop a motorcycle-riding, semi-immortal ghoul that feeds off carnage on remote desert highways.
