Angst tells the story of a group of horror film devotees living in Sydney's King's Cross. There is Dean (Sam Lewis), a cynical, sexually frustrated video store employee with a bad case of unresolved love. Then there are his flatmates Ian (Justin Smith) and Jade (Jessica Napier) - Ian works in an adult bookstore, waiting for his break as a stand-up comedian, whereas Jade does not work at all, content to smoke pot and watch videos while she can still get away with it. Wandering into the characters' lives is street kid Mole (Luke Lennox), who challenges Jade's lifestyle by stealing the trio's trusty VCR, and the alluring May (Abi Tucker), a goth chick on whom Dean develops an over-the-counter crush.
ABC's Julie Rigg described the production as a "sweetly enjoyable film which almost works".[1]
Angst took $58,850 at the box office in Australia,[2] which is equivalent to $73,318 in 2009 dollars.
