Film Reviews by mK

I enjoyed the film. It kept a certain tension throughout as the boy doesn’t speak, so his actions are unpredictable and unexplained. I will forgive the hocus pocus bits as it adds to the metaphor I presume is made by the ending. Whether the ending is sad, or hopeful depends on your view. I gave an extra star for originality. I like a car chase and zombies too, but a quiet reflective film has its place.

I am obviously the odd one out here as the other reviews are so positive. For me, the film had no plot and the best character was the cat. The monsters offered nothing new from the previous films. This is the weakest of the lot. 

Steer clear if gallons of blood will upset you. However this Japanese gore fest with its comic book horror will make you gasp at the audacity and madness of it’s effects. It’s marmite. on other websites viewers rate if 5 stars or one star with nothing in between. This is the second time I’ve rented it.

I understand people not liking it as it is a bit slow and arty, but it grew on me and I really enjoyed it by the end. There are quiet atmospheric set pieces that set the tone. The role of the daughter is really well acted. A film that makes you reflect afterwards, particularly about what the father was feeling.

If you want wham bam in your face non stop action, giant sharks, octopus, terrorists and a ton of unbelievable nonsense, this does the trick. I had to sit auietly for half an hour after the finish to calm my brain down.

If I ever have to kill a giant shark, i’m going to use a helicopter rotor blade.

I had to get through the talky time wasting bits at x2 speed. There was little feeling peril or curiosity about what might happen, just an eagerness to get it over with. A poor pin head outing. Not sure what happened and dont care.

Australia has made some great horror, but this is’nt one of them. The giant razorback is rarely seen. There are some interesting/ scary outback characters and well photographed scenery but overall I would’nt recommend it.

I enjoy a good horror, but but incessant over the top gratuitous violence was too much for me. I would have switched off, but my partner has a stronger stomach, although she had to move nearer the tv because of the small subtitles and her bad eyes. There was also some kung fu fighting, which I find boring, so a miss from me.

It was far too slow for me, I fast forwarded the final half hour rather than endure more deep meaningful conversations.

Not enough gore, too many heart to heart chats where characters explain their feelings. Might suit some, but not this household.

I wouldnt watch any other films by this director after seeing this. It’s like a film students idea of a comic off the wall horror; but the student fails the course.

This film made me laugh and cry. That’s good enough for me. Definately recomend it. One of my favourite films this year.

Beware. This is not the cartoon style horror of monsters or zombies. This is real life gruesome. Very original, it literally gave me a nightmare.

Suburban hell with a problem ‘child’ thats not yours, and no escape. This pressed all my buttons- horrifying. This was the most troubled I have been watching a film for years.

This film is too long and too daft. A taxi driver is sent to assassinate someone and turns into an Arnie style terminator who survives everything thrown at him.
