Love Thy Neighbour

A happy, unsuspecting couple, Max (Dan Wyllie) and Therese (Bojana Novakovic), buy a house in what appears to be a quiet, friendly neighbourhood.

When the intolerable becomes violent and the police are powerless, Max and Therese attempt to take matters into their own hands.

Rolf de Heer wrote and directed The King Is Dead!, with Vertigo Productions producing it along with Nils Erik Nielsen and De Heer. Cinematography was by Ian Jones, production design by Beverley Freeman, and music by Graham Tardif. Tania Nehme edited the film.

The film was shot in and around a house in an Adelaide suburb. It was the first time that filmmaker Rolf de Heer had used digital camerawork rather than widescreen.
