The disused pub in the remote town of Yatina, which is 137.944 miles north of Adelaide, has become The Royal Hotel. The movie is about two friends, who resort to a working holiday at The Royal Hotel. The hotel is infamous for cycling through young female employees constantly. They end up being subjected to mind games and manipulation, trapped in the middle of nowhere.

Ken Cowery lives there in the town. When he saw about 100 cast members and crew roaming around to set things up, it surprised him. However, he said, “They’ve been wonderful people, nobody’s making noise or nothing. They’ve been very quiet,” and praised them. The filming of the movie will take place at several locations. The South Australian Film Corporation said this project would create over 200 jobs. Furthermore, it will bring in $4.6 million to the local economy as well.
