Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Long Weekend is an ecologically-themed 1978 Australian psychological horror film directed by Colin Eggleston and starring John Hargreaves and Briony Behets.The story concerns a couple in a disintegrating marriage, Peter (Hargreaves) and Marcia (Behets), who, along with their dog, go for a weekend camping trip. The couple, especially Peter, take out their frustrations on the natural environment, committing such crimes against the environment as killing a dugong, throwing lit cigarette butts in dry bush, and spraying insecticide. As tensions between the couple escalate, nature is not pleased with their environmental wrongdoing and starts to strike back, first by an eagle and possum attacking Peter, and then through more insidious means.A remake was released in 2008, directed by Jamie Blanks and starring Jim Caviezel and Claudia Karvan in the lead roles.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Long Weekend / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: At the beginning of the film, there is a television news story playing in the background about hordes of white cockatoos swarming people in the western suburbs of Sydney, and at the end of the film, it is a white cockatoo flying in a passing truck driver's face and causing him to swerve that seals Peter's fate. | |

Abortion Fallout Drama | |
| Long Weekend / int_545f8c91 | comment |
Abortion Fallout Drama: A major source of the conflict between Marcia and Peter in their marriage stems from Marcia getting an abortion (possibly to conceal an affair she was having), and the former feeling lingering guilt about it. | |

Bad People Abuse Animals | |
| Long Weekend / int_d2102da0 | comment |
Bad People Abuse Animals: In addition to their unwarranted killing of the dugong (albeit due to mistaking it for something more dangerous like a shark), Peter and Marcia run over a kangaroo without a second thought, while Peter fires willy-nilly shots at ducklings and other creatures. | |
