Synopsis:
Urban couple Peter (John Hargreaves) and Marcia's (Briony Behets) marriage is on the rocks. As a last ditch attempt to save their relationship, Peter arranges for the couple to spend the long weekend together away at a remote beach on the Australian coast. With Marcia preferring to stay someplace more luxurious, their romantic getaway gets off to a bad start - and then they hit an animal on the lonely road. When they finally reach the beach, the urbanites begin making themselves comfortable in their new surroundings, but they soon discover that nature is not in an accommodating mood. As one disaster after another emerges, the tensions between Peter and Marcia rise to the surface.

Glad I decided to watch to the end. - Long Weekend review by ME

Spoiler Alert
30/07/2021

The first two thirds of the movie were a bit on the slow side, with the on and off marital problems being a bit tedious to sit through. The last third though, was when the horror element shines. It was like watching a decent into madness, watching on as two individuals desperately attempt to get out of their situation as nature fights back. Clearly inspired by Hitchcock's The Birds (which I have not seen) and worth getting through the first two thirds of the film to reach its conclusion.
