for a b grader it's actually ok. Don't expect a Michael Bay blockbuster but for what it is it does its job by entertaining. Sure the acting isn't A grade or the story is a bit drawn out but give it a go it's actually well made and from a very creative director.
Probably the strangest movie Ive seen for a long time..but it's intriguing and will hook you in to see what happens...but this won't be everyone's cup of tea as there is a lot of unexplained stuff.
Not a bad movie..very powerful messages..a bit slow but makes its point..good performances by all but the story itself was a little unfinished in my opinion...another movie with similarity, Skin.
Good movie..a bit far fetched in parts but usual for this genre and yes there are some annoying bits too..it's ok if you're looking for something quick and easy to watch.. the scenery is amazing.
If you like the creepy haunted house genre then this will be right up your alley. I don't think as good as Hill House but it is still a beautifully crafted ghost story. Has its scary moments with jumps and things that go bump in the night as well as the dark and figures that lurk in the shadows and of course the mirrors. It's very slow so probably not everyones cuppa tea but try and stick with it. The creepy kids always add a nice touch to this genre. The only thing I don't like is the lead actress. Shes ok but has the sense of reading straight from the script and seems very robotic..not sure if she was the best option for the role..but nevertheless it is a good series and it will fullfill your haunting needs. Enjoy.
Visually, it's stunning...the story, it's disturbing...not sure how factual but it doesn't matter because there are so many terrible true stories about that generation...the movie it's self, not that great..it's very slow, the plot is basic but I guess there is plenty to learn in these stories, the harsh reality of this era in Australia..the performances by most are pretty good...and the evergreen good old Jack Thompson..still doing well.
Incredible movie, complex, always moving along at a fast pace..BUT...its way too long and unnecessary...it won't be everyone's cup of tea especially if you just want to watch a no brainer action movie where you don't have to think...this, it's not that movie..in fact you might need a science degree for this one..effects are pretty good, performances are good..would have been good in the cinemas.enjoy the 2 1/2 hours of mayhem.
