765 The Dreaming ( 1988 )

 This  Australian chiller can't make  up  its  mind  initially  whether  it's  a  political drama  or a translanted Egyptian curse movie but  in  the  end  it  settles for  being a re-run of The Fog with a strikingly  similar finale. A  young  doctor is disturbed by the  death of an Aboriginal activist  under  her  care, the  trail leading  to  her own  anthropologist  father.
