Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Don’t let anyone say they don’t make movies like they used to. Carnifex is a textbook 1970s-era monster mash-up. We don’t need no stinking budget; we got imagination, we got someone in a fur suit, let’s put on a show! Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Michael Talbot-Haynes Film Threat It turns out the old-school monster formula still has a few tricks up its pouch in the Australian ecological horror flick Carnifex. Rated: 8/10 Aug 29, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Valerie M Sean Lahiff, who is a young director, did an amazing job with this cli-fi film (climate change drama), narrating the return of a very aggressive and territorial marsupian tiger. The first half of the film is pretty calm but I really appreciated seeing the work of environmentalists. There is great suspense in this film. I just wished there was a little more action with the beasts. There is great quality of shots and camera work. I definitely will follow this new director Sean Lahiff and hopefully watch more of his films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Jim R Sure sign of a very low budget horror movie is being filmed at night with very little lighting. This movie is 95% dark! Creature sounds but no creature sightings. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Satin B Yawn worthy, even for my home country of Australia ⚠️ Plus couldn't see a bloody thing because it was mostly "night time" dark portrayed 😡 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Joseph K Fun to watch, actually very well made. Some great Aussie bush views and sounds. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Emma B A survival horror in the Australian bush with a ferocious carnivore should be a winning combination. This movie somehow failed. A really slow start, flat characters with a weird vibe between them, and some quite average SFX at times all combined to be one big disappointment. It all just seemed lazy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/23 Full Review John S Great movie! A must see for all! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
