Good start, but then it gets ruined

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

This Aussie romp about inept murder-brothers (played by Angus Sampsonand Damon Herriman) exemplifies what a horror-comedy should be. The quips are laugh-out-loud worthy, the physical humour is never absurd or bad enough to take you out of the moment, the premise is original enough, the reference humour is played well and doesn't get in your face (which I truly appreciate, and makes for the much better laugh), it's just haphazard enough to feel roller-coaster-y without feeling disjointed, from a formulaic standpoint it stands heads and shoulders above most other films of the genre. Unfortunately, this is about all that 100 Bloody Acres can really say for itself. It's true there's virtually nothing bad about it, but nothing stands out about beyond this either. It's a solid film, a recommendable one even, but there's no real staying factor here, and I fear its value will slip with the passing of time, which is unfortunate for such a rare bit of perfectly-toeing-the-line horror/comedy. 68% -Gimly

I watched this movie because I was looking for movies similar to Tucker and Dale vs Evil and Housebound, both of which I'd rate an 8/10, loved those movies and their black humor. So I saw this was recommended by people who liked those. Boy are they crazy.This movie is painfully slow. Very boring, the first 20 minutes are a snoozefest. Once the characters get kidnapped, you'd think the pace would pick up, nope. They slowly start showing more gore, but that doesn't save the movie.The characters are boring which is what kills the movie. It's based around the drama of the characters and their history together, cheating with one another, proposing, and all that drama. It totally doesn't work.The saving grace is the mild humor from one of the characters who takes 'acid' which gives some decent comedic moments. But certainly not enough to carry the movie.Avoid this movie, the 5.7 rating is generous, (and that's not even high, when the average on IMDb is 7.0).

This was a very enjoyable low budget, black comedy about two brothers with a fertilizer company, who find an innovative way to increase the potassium level of their product. This type of thing has been done before (Motel Hell, Blood Diner, The Undertaker and His Pals, etc...), but this flick kept things moving with a lot of quirky characters and funny lines that kept it flowing right to the end. When Australian movies have a hip sense of humor like this one had, they make for a great viewing experience, but there really aren't that many that I've encountered that are particularly funny. The performance of the brothers, the cop, and the old lady with her Corgi were the comic highlights of the film. I don't know if the songs on the radio that were played almost continually throughout the film were written especially for the movie, but they were hilarious also. The only part that seemed a little overdone was the boyfriend's jealousy as he was about to be ground up into fertilizer. It was funny for a few minutes, but they extended it for a bit too long.

What this movie has going for it, is that it is an impressively funny comedy, and the gore isn't really that disturbing, because it looks very fake, but this is exactly how the film, was meant to be taken. It wonderfully succeeds in that department, making for a 2013 ocker hit. The always talented Herriman and his domineering brother, a real deeply dark, and disturbing performance by our Angus Sampson who played Prozac in Dags, run a dark organic fertilizer business, and have a guess what gets mixed in with the fertilizer. It's a little bit Motel Hellish, but far far better. There's some classic moments, and there's some of that real sharp cutting humor that made Two Hands the hit it was, and we do see a greater loss than hands go astray, and too we too have one gross, abhorrent, repellent, and gross, sex scene you'll never see coming, where if like Herriman, trying to acquire those keys, you'd want to parry your eyes as much as you could, or may'be sneak a peek in morbid fascination. Yes this film is a little morbid, and likable Anna Gaghan as one of the hostage witnesses to Herriman's and Angus's insane operation, again shows her natural and realistic acting as a two timing sl.. no I won't say that word, who now falls in love with Reg, (Herriman) and you probably, thinking they live happily ever after right. Well I wouldn't want to ruin it for it. It's no surprise Jarratt shows up in this as a motorcycle cop. I loved the pom, one of Gaghan's lays, he was a hoot and really attributed to the life of the film, especially in the humor area, which this indie film rides high on. Sampson's performance rules the film though.
