Peter and Carla, a couple whose marriage is faltering, decide to go on a camping weekend. When they become lost, the pair sets up camp on a remote beach that doesn't seem to be on any map.

An unhappy couple in Australia--Peter (Jim Caviezl) and Carla (Claudia Karvan)--decide to go camping one long weekend in a remote wooded area near the ocean. Along the way Peter (accidentally) hits a kangaroo and casually shoots at birds within range. They argue and he wanders around a lot with his shirt off. That's about it until an abrupt change of events during the last 30 minutes.This film has goos acting by the leads, Caviezl looks good with his shirt off, has some gorgeous cinematography, nice music...but that's it. This is pushed as being a horror film but it's really just a domestic drama with horror kicking in during the last 30 minutes. The horror itself isn't particularly scary and doesn't make much sense. All this has going for it is acting, scenery and music--nothing else. I give it a 4 just for that.

As a force, Nature in its collective can be Super-Nature(al). A power that is paranormal and beyond the laws of physics. This can explain the strange happenings in this edgy film that is good enough to recommend to those not expecting another gore/splatter/torture "horror" film.This one lies somewhere between the crevasses of suspense and thriller. It is all done with two characters and some imagination. The fact that both of them have committed crimes against nature, he the environment, and her the abortion, are the reason for their extermination.A respectable indie movie that relies on tension of behavior and situation for the shocks and does so with not much style but a patina of the natural. A solid, satisfying story that is disturbing with a message. Bad behavior has bad consequences. Pure and simple as a sunset.

The film tells the story of a troubled couple in spending a weekend in a far-off beach, having to deal with the consequences of their reckless actions toward nature. The plot may seem a bit poor, but it does have its tense and intense moments. It's not scary at all, just somewhat eerie.While acting is pretty straight, characters are really poor. Carla, the wife, is just unbelievably annoying. Impetuous, whinger and harassing. Unbearable. Peter, the husband, is not much better, reckless and arrogant. They obviously don't get along very well, and, as soon as the problems start to show up, rising the mystery behind the plot, their reactions just overbore it. I would say more than a half of the film nothing happens other than their constant argument. Thus, the plot develops very slowly. Maybe if there were more characters it could have been much better. Their dog is far the most likable character on the entire film.Filming is o.k., it manages to rise the tension of the plot. Scenery is great, but it does get monotone after a while.

I just got done watching "Nature's grave" and just HAD to review it. It was 90 minutes of laughing,crying, pondering the meaning of life itself. No...just laughing. This nagging, bickering couple gets attacked by everything from ants to eagles, from snakes to sea-cows. And because the two main characters are so thoroughly dislike-able, nature's assaults on them will make you giggle and grin with fiendish delight as they get what's coming to them. Add in the stale dialog that would make the Pope weep, and the films low budget feel, this one has immense value as an UNINTENTIONAL COMEDY. The final scene was worthy of "Roadkill of The Year", as the beef was flying! (You'll be certain to replay that scene at least a couple of times.) All of that being said, there were some great performances put on by several animal actors in this one. The animal actors should've gotten higher billing than the humans that were involved in this three-ring circus.
