Desolation Angels is a 1982 Australian film about three high school students who borrow a weekender house in Portsea and are terrorised by some thugs.[2]

It was shot in March and April 1982.

The title is a reference to a novel written by Beat Generation author Jack Kerouac.

In recent years the film has changed its title to 'Fair Game', not to be confused with the 1985 Australian feature film that features actress/singer Cassandra Delaney in the lead role.
