      James B This is an extremely violent movie, so be forewarned. But I like the creative revenge scenes. It's a bit fantastical, like Carrie, in that it's the fulfillment of a fantasy many parents might have in his situation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/30/22 Full Review joe w Very violent movie. Not much plot. Some things are kind of stupid. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review matthew w A tender drama unfolds between a grieving father & a troubled teen while driving northbound in Australia, but what she doesn't know is that between stops, he's leaving behind a sadistic trail of bodies in a revenge motivated killing spree after his daughter's recorded rape & murder in this brutal & heartbreaking tale. Recommended Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Audience Member A very low budget grungy gore-porn revenge film. The back story for the revenge, while unique in principle, is portrayed no different than most other revenge flicks. The acting and dialogue are not creative enough to drag the movie from one genital ripping slasher scene to the next. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review troy k Great revenge flick, minus a few stumbles. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Gritty revenge movie that works on the shoulders of its lead performer. Any film with a hero (I use that term very loosely) that gets his ass kicked every 5 minutes is a welcome change from the stake-free glossy violence of most mainstream cinema. Or at least, it would have been if half of these ass-kickings didn't take place in flashbacks, that by the nature of time, we know he already made it through. Still a very palatable Ozzie flick for those who have the stomach. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jason Di Rosso The Age (Australia) For all the rough edges, and perhaps because of them, The Horseman is compelling voyeurism, and the two leads are near on perfect. Jul 9, 2010 Full Review Philippa Hawker The Age (Australia) Marshall's performance, as the desperate, driven father, is striking; it gives the film an emotional centre without ever diminishing the horror of his character's actions. Rated: 3/5 Jul 7, 2010 Full Review Edward Porter Times (UK) For such a film, The Horseman is too short of flair - there's not enough of it to distract us from the nastiness. Rated: 2/5 Nov 6, 2009 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See A rugged, badass tale of revenge. Rated: B- Jul 14, 2020 Full Review Kaleem Aftab The List Unfortunately Kastriossios' direction ultimately buckles under the weight of horror cliché expectation as he ups the action ante to almost hysterical effect. It would have been better if he had held his horses, as it were. Rated: 2/5 Nov 4, 2018 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews A gritty, uncompromising thriller...
