Biography

Colin Eggleston (b. 1941, Melbourne, Australia-2002, Geneva, Switzerland) began as an editor in England, work he continued in Australia. He started out as a director of TV series for Crawford Productions, then debuted in features with a sequel to the ribald comedy about women's sexuality, Fantasm Comes Again (1977). A year later he shot his climactic work, the renowned horror film Long Weekend. In the 1980s, he directed a number of horror films but they met with little success. Among titles such as The Little Feller (1982), Innocent Prey (1984) and Outback Vampires (1987), two others might be called stand-outs: Cassandra (1986), about a girl who envisions her brother committing murder, and the sci-fi adventure Sky Pirates (1985).
