All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Coffin Rock tells the story of a rural Australian couple who are having difficulties starting a family due to the fact that the husband seems to impotent. This drives a wedge between the couple and although he cares for his wife he finds difficulty expressing it. His impotency makes him feel less of a man and causes him to become somewhat introverted. In a moment of weakness his wife has an affair with an man who has become infatuated with her. Turns out he is psychotic. The rest of the movie is self explanatory.The acting is very good and although the plot is very predictable there are some parts where the movie leaves you guessing. I saw this movie free on Youtube and would encourage you to see it. Worth a rental or wait for it on free to air TV.Jackal

A friend recommended this Aussie thriller to me so I rented it on Netflix. Like other reviewers stated, the plot is sort of Fatal Attraction in reverse. A married couple can't conceive, the wife desperately wants a child, so they go to a fertility clinic, but the husband is afraid to open the envelope when the result arrives in the mail. Meanwhile, frustrated wife, sure it's his fault, gets drunk and has a one night stand with the much younger phone clerk from the infertility clinic, who apparently found her instantly very attractive. Turns out she discovers she is pregnant shortly thereafter and assumes its Evan's child, her one-nightie guy. But Evan is somewhat obsessive, possessive and psycho, which Jess soon realizes, and now she is in a quandary trying to keep the event secret and allow Rob, her husband, to think he is the father.The problem for me was that none of the characters were particularly interesting or likable, so there was little fun in the set up. Thus when the terrifying moments finally arrived, they did not involve me deeply, so I watched more for the shock value than for true excitement. Also there was no humor in the movie at all. But while the ending was what I expected, it was very satisfying, and contrary to one reviewer, I believe the director gave viewers enough information to know essentially what happened after the end. The film is about 90 minutes, though it seemed longer, probably because it was all rather unpleasant, while sluggish during the first half. Though not a great film, it is worth renting, but I doubt I will ever purchase it, as I don't think I would want to watch it again, with or without viewers who haven't seen it. If you want to see a thriller that gets it right, rent or buy "Stuck".

. . . since filmmakers can get away with peppering this FICTIONAL story with such graphic civilized world no-nos as having a man with anger management issues swinging a poor little baby kangaroo against his wall until its brains are jelly, and biting a large fish in half. Maybe Aussies view this as some sort of macho survival-of-the-fittest BS, but it's clear to any educated person that the ill-fated fish and doomed marsupial each had more brain power than COFFIN ROCK's wretched main human character (Evan, played by Sam Parsonson, who is obviously one "-son" short of a hat trick). TAXI DRIVER's Travis Bickle is about as much of a loser as you'll see on American film, and even HE can come up with unforgettable succinct tag-lines (such as, "You talking' to ME?!). However, perhaps U.S. film goers are spoiled. Maybe down under you can point the camera at the sun on an overcast day, and folks will watch the footage patiently for 90 minutes, hoping for something to happen. COFFIN ROCK is one of those totally predictable anti-thrillers, where you can see every tiny twist of the plot coming from a mile off. It is distinguished only by the nearly unprecedented and totally gratuitous animal slaughter, a clear throwback to yester-century.

Those Aussies, they surely know how to make a good movie. Remember Wolf Creek. this one is from the same producer and I can tell you, this surely hits again. It's not your typical flick with blood and gore, this one plays with your mind a bit more and it works better with the score they use. Made me think of the remake of Last House On The Left. The story line is simple. A couple would like to have a child but the man has some problems. He love his wife but he can't make a child. His wife adores kids and that's what we see in the first 10 minutes. Argue about what to do he goes to a clinic to do a research on his seed. So far so good but troubles between the man and wife still gets worser resulting in the wife going out for a drink. Wrong. A one night stand happens and the movie starts. It take a while before it really starts but be sure, it starts. The weird thing about this flick is the almost no use of the red stuff, even no gore but I assure you, if you are weak you won't be able to watch it. And not being made in the US gives us a not expecting ending. Again the last minute hits hard. It's a great movie, go get it.
