The Locals is a 2003 New Zealand horror film directed by Greg Page and starring Kate Elliott. The film took in a modest sum at the box-office following negative reviews.

Plot

The film follows two best friends Grant and Paul who hit the road for a weekend of surfing, booze and hopefully... girls. With night falling they take a short cut and meet Lisa and Kelly, a couple of babes with a fast car, who invite them to a party. Lust takes the wheel and a game of cat and mouse begins leading them deep into the heartland of evil where they meet... The Locals.
