The premise here is really good & it had the potential to be better than it was. The acting is pretty decent. The 1st act built up a good degree of tension: the competition between the co-workers, the isolated location, the confrontation with the redneck & the 'real' meaning between 'Waltzing Matilda' story. Sadly, the 2nd & 3rd act go a bit wacky & it all just gets silly. It's a shame, could've done better! 2.5/5 skulls.
It was OK for a supernatural slasher but a lot of nothing really happens.
just skip 47 min then watch 5 min then skip another 10 then watch another 5 & its done.....its a bunch of nothing
Looks pretty good, but a whole lot of nothing happens. Literally half of the movie is spent running through reeds, as a grubby guy in a big hat lumbers about. The vague ending makes the long, slow journey that much more pointless.
Slow, not much happens. The psychological build is really dull
