Truly Dreadful Film

Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

The acting is really poor here - there are a couple of good scenes but for the most part it just seems to fake and unreal. The plot is just useless - it starts off good and I was hoping for a good movie but as it continues you realise that the script is like something a bunch of kids put together - and that is how it ends. Do not waste your time on this movie. The CGI is third grade/ low budget. Its a B class movie - and they haven't been able to pull it off. The script could do with a much better plot and a more scarier story as opposed to three women needed to complete the cycle - really? I liked the dog the most - really expected better.

There is a reference to Scooby Doo in the movie and sadly much of the movie resembled the reference in terms of depth of character but in many other references. The combi = mystery mobile. The brave dog = Scooby The hammy American trying to buy the land. For all of those in Murica relax, it is an Aussie with a bad accent.This story needed many, many rewrites to make this thing sing. Sadly the usual Aussie formula of writer/director/producer being the same guy or gal rang true here. Nobody said "hey," this needs to be tighter or this makes no sense.-----For example ---- Brother had more drugs than Pablo Escobar and he was supposed to be dealing on the side. He seemed quite open to his brother about such a lot of drugs. Considering the drugs - everyone is too cute etc.The went to the town to buy food for breakfast but did not return until nightfall, all the better for the creepy scenes.What happened to the tribe? Only the tribal leader appears in the final scene.This movie is fun but really needed to be a lot tighter.The acting is fine for the two leads, the rest were clichéd if not hammy.The CGI was always going to be a problem as it is a monster movie it is hard to make something believable yet not of this world.

This film is a refreshing approach to film in Australia.Going into the film I did not know what I was expecting, one thing that I was certain of, was that if it was anything to do with Luke sparke then I was very interested, as he is such a great talentHaving Dan in the film along with a great ensemble cast makes this a must- see Australian film, I was lucky enough to see it on the Gold Coast at a special Gold Coast Premier and it's certainly didn't disappoint.Big congratulations to both Luke and the DOP Andrew Condor for such an incredible job, the beautiful sweeping vistas in this capture Australia at it's best, the direction from Luke is amazing - the tension between the characters is what drives this film and which makes you anticipate what is going to happen in the end.The surprise Twist at the end was certainly something that I did not see coming and it made a refreshing change from the usual films that rely on old and tired I wholeheartedly congratulate Luke, Andrew and the entire Team for such an incredible job, all the cast was superbly cast in their individual roles and the crew did such an amazing job but then again you come to expect that from Australian Crews.Do you see this in a cinema as you will get the full scope of what Luke was doing when he was directing the actors in the action, this is up there as one of Australia's top ten , really enjoyed it and I can't wait to see what the next installment from Luke will be

Absolutely dumbfounded as to how this is getting anything higher than 3 - 3.5 starsAs one of the previous reviewers suggested, it does look like it was made by Uni students during their lunch break. There are a number of painful scenes where the actors really are unsure of what they're supposed to be doing or how they should be acting. Also, with regards to CGI, if you don't have the budget to do it well, don't do it at all. It was laughable. We didn't really need to see as much as we did, it would have been better leaving more to the imagination. Wooden acting at best with lackluster direction. The idea and potential could have been great with thorough execution but this just left us all feeling like we wanted 2 hours of our lives back.The dog was great.Funny thing with some of the other 10/10 reviews.... check the profiles, one gold coast actor (supporting his friends in the industry) the others all created recently and only reviewing this film ... I smell a rat! ;-)
