The Dry Collection (The Dry / Force of Nature: The Dry 2) Blu-Ray

THE DRY: Federal Agent Aaron Falk returns to his home-town, after an absence of over twenty years, to attend the funeral of his childhood friend, Luke, who allegedly killed his wife and child before taking his own life--a victim of the madness that has ravaged this community after more than a decade of drought.


When Falk reluctantly agrees to stay and investigate the crime, he opens up an old wound--the death of 17-year-old Ellie Deacon. Falk begins to suspect these two crimes, separated by decades, are connected. As he struggles to prove not only Luke's innocence but also his own, Falk finds himself pitted against the prejudice towards him and pent-up rage of a terrified community.

FORCE OF NATURE: THE DRY: 2: Five women have been sent on a bush walk as a corporate bonding exercise. One of them disappears into the forest, setting off an extensive search and rescue operation. It's slightly fishy that the missing woman, Alice (Anna Torv), was working as a double agent for Falk and his partner, Carmen (Jacqueline McKenzie), who are investigating the big finance organisation that sent her on this trek.

The whiff of foul play brings Falk and Carmen to the forest, where their presence alerts the company CEO, Daniel Bailey (Richard Roxburgh), that they're on his trail. Being a thoroughly villainous type, he sneers at them and provides a brief lecture on how the world works. His wife, Jill (Deborra-Lee Furness), is one of the party that got lost in the forest. She's also a tough cookie, but more willing to talk. As are the three other members of the group: middle-aged Lauren (Robin McLeavey), and the youthful sisters, Beth and Bree (Sisi Stringer and Lucy Ansell).
