Lemon Tree Passage
An Australian urban legend comes screaming on the Ozploitation scene. It’s said that if you drive down the creepy road of Lemon Tree Passage, and witness a sudden flash of light in the trees, you'll be forever haunted by the tormented spirit of a man killed by thrill speeding teenagers. Wanting to put this old wives’ tale to the test, a car-load of non-believers take the supposedly cursed journey and do indeed see a strange manifestation. But it’s not the one of popular myth - this sudden possession of one of their number involves another altogether more shocking crime. That of a young girl raped and murdered on the same stretch of highway. As one urban legend trumps another, the scared passengers must sort out the facts of both cases before vengeful justice from beyond the grave can be meted out with moody atmosphere, ghostly thrills and supernatural suspense.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
We really have not watched many movies that would score as low as a one star, yes some two or three total. However, this one takes the cake! Either the entire film crew and their families contributed to the ratings or they were all paid. This entire movie was taped in the woods, nothing else no other towns, scenery or anything. Nothing but trees and a few cares where the light would flash at them and then go off. Some girl and guy go into the woods to "make out" and later she comes out alone. He is no where to be found. Then some guy is locked in a trunk dead then disappears. Lots of woods, crying, screaming and complete nonsense. My husband and I watched thirty minutes and then stopped it. I started to watch the rest and it went no where. Don't even bother. We could've made this movie in our backyard!
OK, I agree. They should have gone for the urban legend story. It was all a bit predictable. Never the less the acting actually made it worth watching it. The scenery was fine, but the story itself was a bit confusing. I usually don't spoil, but in this case I put some questions/notes down that might be a tiny bit spoiling. Its just that I hope the director of this film will take in account what ordinary film lovers think.I didn't get the legend to murdered woman line. I think the legend was not needed. Gave it a weird twist that didn't fit. Its a revenge film. So why were the teens killed that had nothing to do with it. I did get the possession part, but killing the girl and her brother didn't make any sense. I think if a ghost goes ballistic, they all should die. But that's me. The part in the middle where the woman was raped (was she actually raped?) was chaotic with a bit too much unrecognizable and blurry scenes. It didn't clear anything up and only the producer and actors probably knew what was going on, because they had the script. I didn't. So I had no clue what was going on.Anyway, end good all good. Not the kind of film I would watch again. As I said, the acting was above average with a couple of nice scenes that could have been different so the logic would kick in.I gave it a 5. It wasn't horrifically scary, but the acting was fine and the scenery was good. I've seen worse.Please learn from it.
I will give every film a go. Even if it looks rubbish I will watch until the end and then make my mind up. This film is a definite one time only viewing and I was so disinterested watching it I found my mind wandering. But I stuck with it as always. The story was dull, the actors were boring and characterless and whole film was totally disappointing and dull. A film to be forgot before you've even finished watching it. I won't bore you with the story because the description on here always gives it. Once you've read the description stop there. If everybody had died the film would still have been dull. Avoid and save your time, and money.
I will begin this by saying I am a horror/thriller lover. Anything from Evil Dead to Shutter Island to Saw. Love them!!! I watched this honestly because A) I try and watch all that i can get my hands on and; b) because my family live in lemon tree passage and I thought I may be able to freak them out with a tale. The story was..... mundane. You really didn't care who died or lived through it and the twist at the end is not what you would call a twist. The story was sorely told and there was no real information or moments to give you the gasp factor. Neither was there enough blood to go the B grade blood bath movie that needs no real plot to go on. This movie wasn't terrible. It wasn't good either. The actors were average and kind of cute. Honestly they didn't even show the best of the area they were in (which is gorgeous) It is a very easy watch with nothing that could catch up even the drunkest of watchers. It is average.
