November, 1986. A young woman, beaten and disheveled, has run from lawn to lawn screaming she has been raped, and for anyone to call the police. This woman, this hero, finds herself ultimately responsible for bringing down two of Australia’s most notorious serial killers.
In 2016, writer and director Ben Young creates a film frighteningly close to the real story of Kate Moir's tragic encounter with David and Catherine Birnie, despite not quite acknowledging it.
Prepare for a house of horrors, because Hounds of Love was inspired by a true story.
Welcome to Inspired By A True Story, a podcast where every two weeks, our award-winning hosts and film critics discuss the genuine details that have inspired some of the most memorable true crime movies around. Each episode will break down the crime or crimes that inspired a specific film, and then discuss how factual that film is, versus how much is simply Hollywood magic.
Hounds of Love: Vicki Maloney is picked up one night on her way to a party by a seemingly sweet couple out to sell some drugs. Once they get her to their home, she is drugged and chained to a bed. She then spends several days as their captor where she is brutally abused while she tries to play the husband and wife against each other until everything spirals to a head. Stars Ashleigh Cummings, Emma Booth, and Stephen Curry
