Drawn from the haunting folklore of Kapunda, Ruby, Ruby reimagines one of South Australia's most chilling urban legends for the screen. More than a century after the tragic death of Ruby Bland, her story continues to echo through an abandoned cemetery said to be among Australia's most haunted places. Curious to test the legend for themselves, friends Ollie and Hannah venture into the remote bushland to pay their respects. But when a forbidden ritual awakens Ruby's spirit, their pilgrimage becomes a terrifying struggle for survival. Written and directed by South Australian genre filmmaker Ursula Dabrowsky, Ruby, Ruby combines supernatural horror, psychological suspense and survival thriller elements into a gripping tale of buried trauma and unresolved injustice. Anchored by strong performances from Sarah Jeavons and Luca Sardelis, this atmospheric horror story explores the lingering consequences of violence, silence and the stories communities choose to forget.
