Observer (UK)

There's little originality but a decent amount of suspense, a great deal of blood and some promise.

Packed with references to classic horror thrillers, this Australian film is a gimmicky freak-out that keeps our pulses racing even if it never really gets under the skin.

Rated: 3/5

Projected Figures

Paul China’s Coen-esque debut is a tautly directed genre mishmash of oater, noir and home invasion, if less than the sum of its parts

It's one thing to pay homage to your favourite filmmakers; it's another to rip them off. If there's a fine line between the two, China has stepped well and truly over it.

Rated: 2/5

Checked this out after watching the filmmakers most recent movie. A bit slow at times but well made considering how low budget the film is. The old guy was great. Loved the Australian outback setting.

A bit like a student movie for large parts but mostly enjoyable and well shot (though largely stolen from The Cohen Brothers).

This reminded me of the genre movies from back in the 70s. Really dug it. Actor who played The Stranger was marvelous.
