Plot summary

After a decade in the making, including a rib-tickling behind the scenes chronicle at AFF2020 (Video Nasty: The Making of Ribspreader) Adelaide’s doyen of trash, Dick Dale, presents a gloriously unrepentant gore fest. Decades after his career as a tobacco advertising icon, Bryan Burns’ (Tommy Darwin) life is in ruins. After his mother dies of lung cancer, he is tormented by a talking cigarette on an anti-smoking billboard. He snaps and transforms into the Ribspreader, a killer stalking the city, extinguishing smokers and cutting out their lungs to make his macabre smoking jacket. Littered with excessive set pieces and moments of genuine hilarity, the precious gold is the brilliant cast of faces from Adelaide’s underground.

The king of sleaze!

Dick Dale has delivered in spades with this his first feature after 20 plus years of giving us some of the most demented and hilarious short films. Ribspreader has something for everyone, but is mainly a love letter to sleaze and horror fans. Equal parts hilarious and dark, there's plenty of blood and gore on show. It really does pack a lot in for a modest budget. Action, blood, gore, sex punk rock and comedy. Also has some of the funniest Australian slang I've heard in a film and cameos from some of Australia's most loved underground musicians and performers. If don't enjoy this film on some level, you might not have a soul! See it!

The most "out there" film ever from Adelaide.

Dick aimed for the most "out there" film to come from Adelaide and I think he did it!

This film is just so much fun! I am so glad he got this to fly on the budget he did!

If you are tired of films with your average person in it and high budget effects this film is it!

A cast of punks/ Lesser known alternative types , retro vehicles and technology. Crass , school yard like antics and Aussie humour make this movie probably the funnest film I've seen since the 80's low budget horror films.

Dick has always been a laugh since I saw him front "Gacy's place" ( punk band from the 90's).

You need to check out "Busted" Dick's earlier work on you tube too! Australia needs more blokes like him!

Dead Alive, Bad Taste... Ribspreader!

A film that wears its influences on its sleeves, this absolute splatter fest is a triumph of small budget and big impact.

Filled to the brim with style and substance this is the kind of film that is packed to the brim with colourful characters; a rare instance where you'd be just as frightened to encounter the "good" characters and the "bad" in a dark back alley.

The opening premiere was a sight to behold with the aesthetic of the audience perfectly complimenting the scum displayed on screen, this is sure to garner cult status in no time with its over the top approach to everything.

A modern day successor to the splatter horror of the 80's.
