Born in 1932, Reg Gorman was an Australian actor whose career spanned decades, with a notable appearance in the 1975 film Inn of the Damned. In this gritty exploitation film, Gorman contributes to the dark atmosphere that defines the genre, playing a role that aligns with his experience in television and comedy. Known for his work on series like The Sullivans, Gorman's transition to film adds depth to his legacy, especially within the realm of cult cinema, where his performances continue to resonate with fans.
Inn of the Damned
A sheriff investigates why the guests at a local hostelry check in, but never check out. A most unusual Australian low-budget movie that is deceptively simple in appearance. Terry Bourke, to whom the Australian film industry owes a huge debt, directs his actors with a deft touch. The multi-talented Bourke is also responsible for the insightful, often witty script. The much-loved John Meillon puts in an eye catching performance and it is a pity he isn't used in more scenes. Highly recommended.
