Psycho Dad: The Movie 7 - The Trip from Kurrimine Beach to Russell Island

Psycho Dad: The Movie 7 (also Psycho Dad: The Movie 7 - The Trip from Kurrimine Beach to Russell Island) is an Australian movie that shows the entire trip from Kurrimine Beach to Russell Island. Filming only lasted two days. This was the last film for Sam Wilkes Jr. as he died in April 2020. He only lended his voice but died before video recording commenced, therefore, the role was given to Sam Wilkes Sr. playing the lead character. It is the last film to use the Freehand575 BT font as the 8th film uses a custom Island Life font. The release date of this film was originally expected for December 2020, though it was delayed to January 2021.

This movie was distributed on to DVD on January 17, 2021.

## Plot

Sam opens up the video as he and Psycho Dad are leaving Kurrimine Beach in the car. He reveals the areas nearby Kurrimine Beach before cutting to various suburbs and villages on Highway A1. By the afternoon, Psycho Dad loses it with the traffic lights at Mackay. The GPS unexpectedly stopped working on the way to Sarina. The two ended the journey for the day at Rockhampton. The next morning, Sam and Psycho Dad continued south. They reached Brisbane by the afternoon and had gone to Victoria Point before continuing on the last leg to Russell Island. Sam then reveals beautiful river scenery over the vast bay before the two disembarked at Russell Island. However, upon arrival, he has hands full with bags, drinks and all the rest. Sam tests the new DVI-D cable on the HP computer which miraculously works. Then ends the film as he reveals his hotspot network to Psycho Dad. Some text appears as to the aftermath of both characters. The end credits roll with passenger ferry speeding footage. It was assumed Sam was heading back to the mainland.

## Future

In 2020, it was announced that although an 8th film may be likely, it won't ever happen. "Even though I'm open for an 8th film, I feel the seventh film was a perfect ending to a franchise, so the eighth film won't be necessary" he said after moving to Russell Island in June 2020. Then, the 8th film began development in March 2021. Unlike the previous entries, the 8th film will be marketed under two names. For physical media, it will be named "Psycho Dad: The Movie 8" with a subtitle names pending, while the online release is credited as an Island Life movie. Since Psycho Dad: The Movie 8 will be the final sequel, there will be no further sequels developed though Island Life might have several sequels in the future depending on how long the series lasts.
