What makes this film just ever so slightly rear its head above mediocrity is the fact that it is beautifully shot and has a great build up towards the reveal of one hell of a bad guy.

It is a shame, however, that this otherwise creative film feels the need to merrily trod down the beaten path and have its heroes make silly decisions to facilitate the plot.

Still, it's well made, ruthless and at points rather tense, so I have no problems with glossing over its imperfections to enjoy myself.

This is crazy. I wish Australia was real.

Very twisted and bleak little Australian outback slasher that’s maybe not quite as borderline 5 stars as I it being on my first watch, but it still does what it sets out to and it does it quite well.

The scenery is gorgeous but that whole wide open spaces for miles thing is actually pretty scary when you’re in the middle of it and realize if something happened to you then you’re just fucked and that’s all there is to it. That’s what Wyoming is like and I wouldn’t be surprised if this shit happens more often than we realize. I mean, I know that cars running off the road all the time and aren’t found for weeks and…

A friendly reminder that the Australian outback is a vast wasteland teeming with wildlife and deranged people who really, really want to hurt you.

i had been wanting to watch this film so badly for over a decade and i could not be more disappointed. i had such high hopes, but this was just.. mediocre. i can only hope that the sequel is more exciting.

I’m not normally a fan of slashers that take their sweet time getting to the killings, but something about this one felt like it was perfectly setting the mood. The picturesque Australian scenery certainly helps. I also think the fact that this is based on a true story didn’t actually have me as eager to witness some grisly murders. This is a mean little thriller though and I loved it.

Review by Killian Morlaes ★★½

Australia has spiders and murderous farmers out in the bush who kill tourists. I'm never going there.
