Audience Member Not very good at all Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Glen O Two Heads Creek is a witty, hilarious take on ocker culture and Australia's immigration policy that employs an outsider's point of view (courtesy of Jordan Waller's intelligently observed screenplay) to show us ourselves as we would perhaps rather not be seen. The second feature for director Jesse O'Brien and director of photography Samuel Baulch after 2016's Indy science fiction Arrowhead, it ramps up to an even higher standard of film craft and further confirms that these two film makers are a team to watch. Jordan Waller and Kathryn Wilder give sparkling performances in the lead roles as twins who travel to outback Queensland to reconnect with their long lost birth mother (played with a wicked turn by Kerrie Armstrong). They discover that the town has developed a taste for human flesh and are involved in a conspiracy with the Department of Immigration to supply them with a food chain of migrants. ‘Don't stop the boats! Send em here so we can eat their brains!' In league with their long lost mum and sister Daisy (played with a touchingly wide-eyed innocence by Madelaine Nunn) they team up to overthrow the system in a gloriously bloodthirsty final act. In addition to those already mentioned there's a top notch ensemble cast including such Aussie luminaries as Gary Sweet, Helen Dallimore, and Kevin Harrington to add to the mayhem. Gregory J Fryer as Indigenous bus driver Apari provides the much needed perspective that all of us white fellas, recent migrants or not, are ‘f***in' foreigners.' Special mention also to Stephen Hunter as immigration officer, Clive, David Adlam as twisted tank top wearing Eric and the legendary Don Bridges as pommy hater Uncle Morris. The soundtrack is studded with Aussie rock classics with a heavy dose of early 60s Normie Rowe. The musical centrepiece is an hilarious hard rock arrangement of Skyhooks' Horror Movie courtesy of the film's composer Ryan Elliot Stevens that showcases Helen Dallimore's vocal chops and provides the setting for the climactic battle sequence with a cornucopia of hilarious dismemberments so OTT that they evoke more laughs than horror. The whip smart writing and comedic timing make Two Heads Creek an hilarious crowd pleaser with its laughs, gore and incisive social commentary. It's won over festival audiences in the US and UK as well as in Australia so check out what deserves to become an Aussie comedy classic. You'll need a strong stomach but you won't be disappointed. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review Audience Member It was a real easy watch and very funny Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Jesse O'Brien and Jordan Waller have created a blood-soaked satire of Australia's dark underbelly. The comedy style won't be to everyone's taste, but fans of early Peter Jackson and Monty Python will enjoy its familiar blend of slapstick humour and gore. As an insane take on our dangerously ridiculous society, it excels at presenting a tale about humanity and how we need to get over our differences. Two Heads Creek isn't quite on the same level as Tucker and Dale vs. Evil (2011) or Shaun of the Dead (2004), but it's a welcomed entry into the genre from the land Down Under.
