Coda is a 1987 Australian made-for-TV horror mystery film directed by Craig Lahiff who described it as "very much a telefilm. I suppose it's very Hitchcocky - and de Palma inspired."^[2] It was the first of three films Lahiff had arranged finance for which were made in succession. The film focuses on a serial killer targeting female university students.

It was shot on location at Flinders University on 16mm and features women in all the lead roles.^[1]^[3]
