Admission Impossible
For much of the 20th century, successive Australian governments pursued a policy of deporting and barring entry to any race of people they considered undesirable. This was known as the White Australia policy. Admission Impossible is the true story of the behind-the-scenes political forces and the propaganda campaigns that attempted to populate Australia with “pure white” migrants.
Insights
Plot Summary
A group of teenagers breaks into a mansion during a storm, only to discover it's occupied by a dangerous killer. The tables turn when the resourceful teens decide to fight back against their would-be murderer. The film blends elements of slasher horror with a more lighthearted, almost comedic, approach to the violence.
Critical Reception
Admission Impossible received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, who largely panned its predictable plot, weak acting, and uninspired direction. Audiences also found little to praise, with many citing its derivative nature and lack of originality. It is generally considered a forgettable entry in the early 90s direct-to-video horror market.
What Reviewers Say
A poorly executed slasher film with a lack of scares.
The acting is wooden, and the plot is extremely derivative.
Fails to offer anything new or exciting to the genre.

Fun Fact
Director Sean S. Cunningham is perhaps best known for directing the original 'Friday the 13th' (1980), making 'Admission Impossible' an interesting, though less successful, follow-up in the horror genre for him.
