While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Can't give enough praise to this locally made, tiny budget film! What the makers have accomplished is nothing short of brilliant when you consider the constraints. I thought the acting was very good (particularly Anthony) and the story quirky and cool. I loved everything to do with the filming, from the awesome Australian scenery, to the superb camera work and cinematography (again impressive considering what it was shot on!) I was lucky enough to see this movie as it was intended- on the big screen, during the Brisbane premiere. Can't wait to get my hands on my very own copy (as it's just come out on DVD here now) and see all the extra footage and alternate ending!! Great job to everyone involved, can't wait to see what the guys do next! Get in and see it! Grab a copy from jb hi fi or wherever you can and support our local filmmakers!

Saw this at a festival in Arkansas. I'd heard the director fully self-funded the film so had to see for myself. Man, did this fella stretch a buck. Shots, editing, scenery are damn perfect. The story was good enough and the actors did a great job. Loved the cameo by Vernon Wells. Make no mistake, this is a cheap film. But it holds up better than most tinseltown offerings. Hope to see what the team behind this could do with a proper budget. The only thing that bugged me was the stretched out suspense moments. Too much of this going on n last half hour when things should have been racing along. The man-in-suit wasn't fooling anyone but on a budget like this totally forgiven. Everyone in the cinema had a ball watching it. Gonna check the bluray for the ton of extras.

As the third reviewer I might possibly be the first non-production associated reviewer here. Reviewers one and two have given this rather bad film glowing rewards. This is a badly directed, cast and acted. The shot angles do not flow into each other well. The monster is a joke, plus you never really get to see it clearly. The sound effects and sound mix are pretty ordinary, plus the music, which in itself is not bad, has been ruined buy getting mixed as flat as a dry lake bed.I normally believe if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything. But as the first two reviewers here have deliberately lied about the quality of this film, I just needed to set things straight. Also the script ... hmmmm ... most of the actors do some pretty illogical things. For example, a character is handcuffed to a one inch thick tree root. There are numerous hefty sized rocks within reach. Rather than working on chipping away at the tree root, the script has our poor character pulverize his hand with one of the rocks so that he can slip it through the hand cuffs. Go figure.It is an amateur effort. At the start it was definitely a comedy (so I thought) then it started taking itself seriously. Better to have kept it comedic.And Holy Hail storms Batman, the director, IMDb name Travoose, sent me messages filled with four letter words and threats very soon after I posted this review. What a nice guy hey?
