Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Nice effects though.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I wish I could give this -1, it was up there with one of the worst movies I have ever endured. Where do you start, well here is what I learned.1 You get anyone and their relatives to write a review to boost the rating. 2 There is so little to do in Australia that it is better to travel hundreds of miles to stay in a s### hole rather than spend time next to a pool with a few beers. 3 No matter if you have a huge beer gut, wear women's knickers and have the social skills of a wilder beast you are still attractive to the stunning brunette because you are called donkey. 4 When confronted by a bloke who looks like the side of a house and has a four feet machete you should stumble up the riverbank naked and call him "a retard". 5 Although it took them a few days driving and camping their boxer mate can teleport there. 6 When said boxer arrives he thinks it is a good idea to offer the seven foot machete wielding maniac a Queensberry rules boxing match.This film was awful and the makers knew it was stinking the place out so thought we will make it funny so everyone knows we are doing it tongue in cheek. Unfortunately it is neither funny or a horror movie. There is no empathy with the characters you start rooting for Charlie. Australia is a beautiful, fascinating country but this manages to waste it, it wants to be Woolf Creek but ends up as time you will never get back, I have been more horrified by finding we had run out of coffee than anything in this movie.

I joined IMDb just to write this review. I am a big fan of the horror genre, especially slashers. I am shocked that this movie has such a low rating. I assume people who don't appreciate slasher movies are the reason. The story line is pretty typical for a slasher film (it's not a copycat by any means) but that isn't a bad thing in my book. The kill scenes are amazing with believable gore and effects. The acting is surprisingly good for this genre as you really don't expect much from slasher films since character development isn't the point. The only downside to this movie for me was Tara Reid. Her acting is AWFUL. Like I said, I don't expect much in the acting department but her atrocious performance really took away from the movie. I expected more considering she is experienced in acting. Overall I was very pleased with this movie as was my boyfriend, also a fan of the genre. We were laughing, cheering, and had a great time watching. If you are a fan of the slasher genre, definitely watch! If not, don't bother. Sometimes I really feel like ratings should be grouped into two categories: fans of the genre, and non fans. This movie deserves way more than the 4.6 it currently has.

As films go, this was a 5 but as horror films go, this was a 6. This really had everything you would want from a slasher flick: a menacing and monstrous baddie with a sad and weird backstory, a variety of kills and plenty of gore and creepy moments in eerie settings. This isn't one of the great Australian horror films but it is a dependably good one. It does everything you want it to. The build up is nicely paced and then it just kicks off and doesn't relent until it ends.One of the things I really liked about this film was that it was a horror that wasn't filled with teens and tweens unlike a lot of films in the genre these days.It was an enjoyable watch and a good way to fill the late night. If you like your horror films then I'd recommend this one to you.

When it comes to Australian film, I feel detached from it. The reason being that I feel that the movies they are hyping up like Red Dog and now The Last Cab to Darwin are movies I have no interest in seeing (I can name quite a few good movies though). I just feel like they're either targeting all round family movies and just seeps into clichés that are there despite cultural identity. However, with this... What I think of it is kind of complicated.The plot is that 2 guys decide to get their girlfriends to do a road trip and try and get to a farm in the middle of nowhere that was a murder site where a whole family was involved and the only loose end being that of the mentally challenged boy, Charlie. When they get there it becomes an all out gore-fest as (shock, gasp!) Charlie is now a 7 foot tall killer, deciding to pick them off one by one.Okay, the premise is basically every single slasher movie ever made. However I see appeal if what you're looking for is the gore. I don't think it's on the same level as better gore-oriented horror movies like Hellraiser but... The genital mutilation scene is one which ensures no male will forget this movie (unless you're seeing it on television, which will certainly cut it out). The other kills aren't as memorable but if excessive gore scares you then by all means, get this movie and watch it.But for me this movie has problems. First of all I just find some of the clichés in slasher movies to be too tired and while this does try I don't think a single person will buy that Charlie is really down the first time. I don't necessarily blame the movie for it (especially considering there are so many other movies doing the exact same thing) I just think the sub-genre is too set in it's ways and needs something to rejuvenate it.If there is anything though to take away from it is that it is trying. I mean the acting from the main players range from being shaky to good and it is certainly something for those looking for a gore-fest however I just think the clichés among other things just sink the entire movie. We all know when the couple goes skinny-dipping their minutes are numbered. In all honesty, this is okay, I don't think it's the 4.6 it is here but if you're looking for a bloody, bloody time I'd say this is worth looking at.
