I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Sorry, this movie sucks
Sadly Over-hyped
Did you people see the same film I saw?
I'm a bit of an outlier on this, I guess, but I really liked this movie. It's a short (less than 90 minutes) and taut Australian horror movie about a family trapped in their farmhouse by a vicious pack of wild dogs. It's suspenseful and at times exciting. It's hard to take seriously, of course - but I'm not sure that horror movies are meant to be "taken seriously." The basic point of the movie is made pretty quickly, when a couple on another farm are killed by this pack, and then Adam (Jack Campbell) discovers a whole flock of mutilated sheep on his property. That was our introduction to the family who are the main characters. Mom and Dad (Mom Carla is played by Anna Lise Phillips) are in danger of losing their farm because they can't pay the mortgage and the bank is about to foreclose. Adam's a farmer whose livestock (as we've seen) are being killed by something, and Carla's a veterinarian who doesn't have enough business in this isolated area to make much money. Daughter Sophie (Katie Moore) is actually delighted by the prospect of having to leave, since she desperately wants to live in the city, while her younger brother Henry (Hamish Phillips) has never experienced anything but the farm and can't imagine living anywhere else. So the dynamics of the family are set up pretty well, and the movie moves pretty quickly into the primary story - how is this family going to survive once the attacks begin one night?I did, in fact, really like this. I thought it moved along nicely, the attacks that were shown were just graphic enough without being over the top gory, and director Nick Robertson made what I felt was very effective use of lighting in the film. Lights would flicker on and off because of a previously mentioned problem with the fuse box and that added a sense of drama and mystery and an edginess to the story. So, yes, I am a bit of an outlier on this - but I thought it was a really good and effective horror movie (8/10)
The dad shoots one of the wolves through the front door. The wolf whimpers and then there's silence. The dad slowly opens up to find blood on the porch but no body. Keeping the door open, he does the ever-typical move of assuming it must've ran off and died by turning around, shrugging, before being tackled from behind. Dumb, dumb, dumb. And all too typical. An earlier part isn't quite as dumb because he wouldn't've been able to outrun the wolves, but still, it's unrealistic to just stand there and not even try. I'm talking about the agent taking a leak in the woods after his visit to the house. Most of all, how hungry would these animals be after a full meal of the agent in the latter part of the day. Almost the entire movie takes place over the course of only one day and they just keep picking individuals off: the old couple at the beginning just the night before, then the agent in the afternoon, then the cop that night.
it started promisingly, sweeping farming lands with forests adjoining. a struggling farming family somewhere in Australasia. This could have been quite a good little film, except all canines have very acute senses, aural and olfactory, and how the family avoided being decimated by these feral dogs with no senses is beyond comprehension - oh, Iknow - the dogs had no senses!!!. I don't quite understand how the finance for this film was gleaned based on these very, very important points, is beyond me! Whoever wrote the story should have done more homework on dogs and all our canine friends - it is an indictment on both the writer and the professional cineast.It was, however, watchable. I wish I had had a hand in this - it would have been mesmeric.
Just another Aussie movie that I was disappointed after watching. I've been going by what the previous reviews say about Aussie films and as a American film goer, I gotta say, their films kinda suck a...s. They start off pretty decent like this one did, but twenty minutes in, you start seeing some real stupid scenes, that makes you question what were the script writers thinking, when they wrote that part in the scene. The movie is a about a pack of wild ferocious wolves who now set their fury on a family of four, who's home is about to be put into foreclosure. Not giving any spoilers, but this story is tired and old and done so many times before, you would think they would've gotten basic formula right. But my issue with Aussie films are they always have certain scenes that make absolutely no sense, when it comes to survival. Anyway that's my spiel on it. Not really worth the watch unless you have nothing else to do, but time to waste.
