Put it on not expecting it to be my cup of tea. But i really enjoyee this movie and the acting was great. I would watch again.
LOVE!! Beautifully shot and a stunning story or honour and revenge.
Brilliant!! I enjoyed every moment of this film. I am fascinated by traditional Maori culture. They seem very reminiscent of the ancient Celts in many ways. This seems to be a prequel to a series of the same name streaming elsewhere on this channel. I will definately check it out on the strength of this. Top job guys. 5/5
A very good revenge thriller, i wouldn’t say its actually a Horror. Never the less, plenty of gore to keep us sated.
People who refuse to watch movies with subtitles miss out on excellent movies like this. A good storyline and plenty of action from start to finish. You wont be disappointed.
