The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This was a strange flick to watch. It all started as a normal flick and it really took a while before things go wrong. Even when the fog comes in you have to wait a bit before the 'knife' will do what it does, killing. It's not a common horror because it contains all kind of stories. We do have a part of possession and we do have some supernatural stuff going on. In the beginning I was a bit confused what was going on but once you know what the knife does due watching closely to the tattoo you will get it and rather enjoy it. The acting was believable but I must say that John Rhys-Davies (The Greek) wasn't convincing at all. But it's the creepy atmosphere in the last half hour that keep you watching and you want to know what is going to happen next. It isn't gory or messy but the red stuff do flows a few times. A bit confusing the first 40 minutes but keep watching until the end for the reason already explained and for nudity you just couldn't see coming.Gore 1/5 Nudity 0,5/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

...well I can happily say that this is not one of them :)The concept of body swapping by stabbing someone with the knife actually provides this film with a fairly decent narrative. And, although being a straight to DVD film release, this film avoids from appearing as a cheap knock-off horror. The only thing in the film I could really criticise is the extremely short time the "ferryman" features in the film; he is basically reduced to a cameo role at the end where he just pops in to take In all, I thoroughly recommend watching this, especially in you are tired of all the boring generic slasher/gore films with a lame plot. If I am totally honest: I would even go so far to name this as one of my favourite films of 2007.The Ferryman is coming and payment is due...

Finally, a horror movie that isn't total tripe. This is a nifty, somewhat original little New Zealand movie that won't fail to please fans of low budget 80s slashers, and it's actually really entertaining for what it is. The plot is not overused or dull, and aside from perhaps a few minor plot holes and dumb "typical horror" moments (like when the older lady talks trash instead of just pulling the trigger on the body-snatcher, for instance), it's pretty much devoid of the dreaded modern cliché that plagues so many other films today. The women here are attractive (well, the dark haired girl is at least) and the kills/thrills are pretty good overall. The ending did not fail to satisfy either. I think the best thing about The Ferryman, though, is that it doesn't just follow the typical slasher plot of "group of kids in the woods getting sliced up by a maniac with an ax/butcher's knife/machete. It may not be the best horror film, but it's a breath of fresh air, and that's just what I needed.I don't think this movie reached its full potential, though, as there are several things that could be expanded upon - such as the actual "Ferryman" and the girl's past - but when something is this entertaining, its flaws don't matter much. Not everyone will dig this, but it's definitely a refreshing change of pace. Recommended.
