heres what i thought....
its more than anything that's come out of h-wood lately.
there are going to be detractors who say that it's an Aussie retread of 'the Texas chainsaw massacre'; they might even be partially right. what i loved most about this film is the fact that in an age of sadly predictable horror films, this one kept me on the edge of my seat.
not only was i actually frightened, but this film kept pushing the envelope in terms of what horror audiences have come to expect. it goes WAY beyond anything you've seen in the last twenty years. thank god for true indies making real horror. this is a thousand times better than the overrated and ultimately idiotic 'saw' precisely because it keeps on showing you things you don't think you're going to see.
things that make you really, really uncomfortable. things that are very, very upsetting.
when we finished watching i felt as though i had been hit by a truck, much the same way i felt when i watched Texas chainsaw for the first time when i was fourteen. that was a long time ago. i think this film has the potential to become a similar rite of passage for up-and-coming horror fans. it's that powerful.
having said that, i can't see them releasing this as is. it touches on stuff that no major studio will want to go near.
one of the few 'based on a true story...' films that really is, i wonder how aussies felt when they saw this film. also, the lead baddie is a pretty familiar face to you lot down under--i'm curious how that translated? since i had no clue as to who the #$%* he was, he was totally believable as a freaky hick and scared the hell out of me.
great, great movie. horror fans? get your hands on a copy somehow.

Unimpressed ... cute women cannot save a predictable plot nor stagnant acting and scenes
There was potential in this movie that was completely wiped away with the first dust storm that crossed the Australian desert.

Amazing!! Australia is introducing to us its horror movie industry and they are doing a good job, I liked the actings, I liked the plot, the seting was amazing and what called my attention the most was that it was based on a real story and the movie looked pretty real.

Well, it wasn't that bad, but there are better movies with the same topic, like Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

A pointless display of onscreen violence and disgusting rape. There was no plot. Most of the acting was ridiculous. Hopefully it was that writers last film.
