There's Something in The Pilliga
January. 10,2015The Pilliga Yowie, - or 'Jingra' - has haunted the Australian outback for centuries, stalking a remote part of New South Wales, where men seldom dare tread, content to keep to itself... until now. Blokish truck driver Jay and his cameraman buddy Dylan journey into the PIlliga National Park with Liz and Tammy, two good time girls they meet in a pub. Things take a sinister turn when a local legend comes out to play - complete with big teeth, sharp claws and a craving for human flesh!

Undescribable Perfection
The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Horrible movie, complete waste of time. Wish I could give it negative stars. How does crap like this even get made?
StarsI'VE SEEN IT TOO February 8, 2016 - Published on Amazon.com "There's Something in the Pilliga" and "Half Human" are the same film. This is a found footage film taken in the Outback supposedly a Big Foot type of film. Dylan (Paul Denham) is the ride along filming Jay (Brendan Byrne) a self proclaimed redneck with a think Aussie accent mate. The accent was thick enough to make me look for an English subtitles option. Nope. None available. These two guys pick up two floozies at a bar on New Years Eve and drive into the woods....and we never see the creature. We hear screaming, have a lot of ground cam, running cam, shoe hurling chunks cam, and people dragged on the ground cam. At one point the women try to act sexy for the cam showing cleavage and simulating sex. The lack of a decent ending killed the feature.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE PILLIGA is an indie comedy/horror flick from Australia which has a little of the trademark Aussie charm and humour to get by. It's a found footage-style effort that features a number of dumb characters who come into contact with a Yowie, an Australian-style Bigfoot creature of legend. This can just about be classed as an 'Ozploitation' movie, although as with many indies it's very rough around the edges and slow at times. The fact that the monster is never seen is a bit of a disappointment, but perhaps for the best. Expect a lot of character interaction, jokes, arguments, titillation, and the usual genre tropes.
Another handy cam film like Blair Witch and The Tunnel. Movie drags on for 80 minutes and nothing really happens. Just driving around for most of the movie. Terribly written with boring dialogue which is saved by the decent acting of the leads. It is Nicely shot showing the Outback of Australia i give it that, but the over using the camera in the car when it wasn't really needed made me dislike this film more. I don't think this movie had any real story line just a lot of bogon talking and terrible directing and edited like a student film. 60 minutes of nothing with 20 minutes of something. Im amazed this movie was made for $84,000 or even funded at all.
