Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

trashgang How stupid can you be, I mean, promoting this flick via reviews, common you can see where you're living and it's Australia. Guess the production has written all over IMDb. But I thought to give it a try. The first thing I noticed is that this horror clocks in at almost 2 hours. That's long so you have to give the viewer a lot to keep him attracted to the screen. And it's there things go wrong. After 1 hour the only thing you see are two red spots in the woods, a lot of noises but not in the style of Blair Witch that doesn't deliver the heebie-jeebies. So in the first hour you will meet Rebecca (Jessica Green) the slut of the gang seducing everybody but even there it goes wrong. The focus lays on her voluptuous juggs but honest. Walking around in your bikini in the woods, how stupid and making love with your bra one, just dump the b*tch. And oi far I have been writing about everything except the fact that this should be a horror. It's in the last 50 minutes the possessed eyes come in as did the monster. For a minute. I get it, this is more an action thriller in stead of a horror. But even there it lacks action...just the last 20 minutes this action turns into a CGI horror.

browchay Absolutely dumbfounded as to how this is getting anything higher than 3 - 3.5 starsAs one of the previous reviewers suggested, it does look like it was made by Uni students during their lunch break. There are a number of painful scenes where the actors really are unsure of what they're supposed to be doing or how they should be acting. Also, with regards to CGI, if you don't have the budget to do it well, don't do it at all. It was laughable. We didn't really need to see as much as we did, it would have been better leaving more to the imagination. Wooden acting at best with lackluster direction. The idea and potential could have been great with thorough execution but this just left us all feeling like we wanted 2 hours of our lives back.The dog was great.Funny thing with some of the other 10/10 reviews.... check the profiles, one gold coast actor (supporting his friends in the industry) the others all created recently and only reviewing this film ... I smell a rat! ;-)

tammy151 I came into this movie not knowing what to expect. The cast had assured me this wasn't the typical scary monster film and they were most definitely right!! This movie showed two brothers in a fun and innocent (mostly) light. And they stayed true to the traditional Aussie spirit, with dialogue and actions. The overviews of the rugged terrain and sweeping farming properties gave the film another level of authenticity. The monster was probably the best part of the whole film. Tying it into local Indigenous myth and cultures, and the large number of Indigenous actors (from large roles to small roles) was brilliant!This isn't your typical monster film, and has a level of depth behind many of the plot points you don't normally see in this film genre. Give it a shot, you won't be disappointed!!

Glen Collins How do describe this movie would be: Terrific. It's difficult making films, let alone in this country. Whatever the they had or didn't have, Red Billabong was well thought out and executed on-screen reality. Taping into the ideas of; Creature- Feature, Mythological, Conspiracy, Adventure and Action, in an Aussie version is rare and should be tried more often. What's on screen tells a story of how it is made, and I see the right thoughts for local entertainment and excitement. It involves camera movement, GCI, in-built humour, character types, and heart. Also, no matter the quality of the film, it's strikes me as this years hit. So I take my hat of to these guys for the choices they've made for this movie and to the next.
