Interesting facts

Kadaicha is a 1988 Australian horror film directed by James Bogle and produced by David Hannay. It was released on video.

Production

Kadaicha was directed by James Bogle, in his feature film debut, for producer David Hannay, who was producing low-budget commercial films at the time. There was an interest in Aboriginal themes during the late 1980s. It was the last of four low-budget films made by executive producer Tom Broadbridge and producer David Hannay for the video market, and produced via David Hannay Productions.

Charles Hannah co-produced the film, which was based on a screenplay by Ian Coughlan. Cinematography was by Stephen F. Windon, and Andrew Aristedes edited the film. The original score was composed by Peter Westheimer.

Kadaicha was filmed on location in Sydney, Australia, on a budget of an estimated A$600,000.

The title derives from the device used in the film, called "kadaicha stone". The word is a variant spelling of "kurdaitcha", which in the lore of some Aboriginal peoples in central Australia was a kind of magic man or evil being who killed people.
