SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

just watch it!

Dreadfully Boring

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Very pleasantly surprised. Adrien Brody just delivers a genuinely believable performance. This thriller mystery is not to be mistaken as a horror but that doesn't mean there are no jumpy scenes ! which I might add are perfectly timed to give the goose bumps. Decent directing unveiling the plot at a steady pace to stay mysterious yet kept the mind ticking. No spoilers just watch it, you will be entertained. RG

At last an Australian Ghost story with a lot of atmosphere and an excellent cast. I must admit Academy Award winner Adrien Brody nailed his attempt at the Australian accent. Casting Adrien Brody, Sam Neill and Robin McLeavy should help international appeal and marketing.A ghost story about a grieving psychologist in Melbourne, Australia who is haunted by ghostly apparitions which make him search out his past in his rural home town.Excellent support cast includes Sam Neill, Robin McLeavy (The Loved Ones 2011), George Shevtsov, Jenni Baird, Chloe Bayliss, Bruce Spence (Mad Mad 2,3, Matrix Revolutions, Lord of the Rings) and Malcolm Kennard (Catching Milat). Great locations in Melbourne, Sydney, Carcoar and Oberon in country New South Wales.Robin McLeavy plays the role of a local rural cop with a sweet yet authoritative manner. Pure genius casting actor George Shevtsov as Adrien Brody's retired cop dad.Love the moody, atmospheric sets, photography and realistic special effects.I had never heard of the film and was lucky to pick it up by chance at my local public library. This is my first IMDb review in years. Sad to see the forums go.

We've seen these stories before. Guy has a forgotten past, angry ghosts are making him solve the mystery which turns out to be different than the movie makes us believe at first.The movie is very slow, the script drags and there is not enough tension to make you sit on the edge of your seat. And probably that wasn't the intention anyway. No, it's a sit back and relax not so exciting ghost story. Some jump-scares make you not fall asleep.Of course Adrian Brody is trying to do his best to give a great performance, and he succeeds which is kind of an exercise realizing how dragging the script is he has been given. Same goes for the other leads. But when you feel the movie never ends and it is a 1hour20 minutes movie, that is a really bad sign - I was glad it was over. Still I'm giving it 6 out of 10 for the effort of trying to make a ghost movie with a slow burn. Not a really successful attempt but there is potential. Some Spanish director should make a remake of it, tear the script apart and start with the basics. Hopefully that would be more satisfying.

Adrien Brody has to be one of the least appealing actors in Hollywood. The man has a complete lack of charisma. You can have all the acting chops you want, but if you can't be entertaining (or even watchable) on screen then what is the point? Sadly, he was enough to ruin a movie that was otherwise right up my alley. The ghost plot point I could easily leave (and I'm not even sure it added much to the movie anyway), but the mystery/thriller side of things was actually very well crafted and disguised. Is Brody even that much of draw card to audiences these days? Has he turned in anything noteworthy in recent years? The film makers obviously thought so, flying him all the way to Australia to be the star of their film. When you do that and the guy turns out to be the one thing that ruins your movie, you'd have to be a little upset. The local actors actually quite impressed me and Sam Neill turned in his usual cool, calm and collected performance. There was potential for a very good thriller here. Disappointingly though, the end result is something pretty forgettable.
