I checked all the reviews for this movie, just from curiosity and except a 3 and a 6, there are only 9s and 10s. HOW? This movie is absolutely terrible!

I sit and watched I.C.U. because I'm a big fan of Margot Robbie, the only actor that is actually ACTING in this "movie" (the reason I'm giving 2 instead of 1), by fast forwarding the filler moments, like the music montages.

The plot seems simple, but the director/writer wants to make it seem like it is complex, with disastrous results. The acting is over the top, Margot Robbie is used as a sex tool because of her beauty and even though almost nothing is predictable, it still feels stupid.

The "twist after twist" in the end makes absolutely no sense and shows that there were twists just for the sake of having them.

At least the movie made me wonder: do Australian people EVER close their curtains?

Just finished watching your movie I.C.U and thought i would jump onto IMDb and tell horror movie fanatics what a awesome movie this is.

There is nothing i can fault with this movie.

Loved the actors, SFX and the story line.

It's hard to find a good horror/thriller with a good story line and i think you hit the nail on the head.

Loved the location and i think the way you shot it was clever and kept me engaged.

Also saw you had a second movie, i will definitely be hiring out this movie if it is as good as I.C.U (which i'm sure it will be).

Wow, what an awesome effort from local feature filmmaker Aash Aaron!

With over 25 year experience in the entertainment industry which includes acting, writing, directing and now producing, Aash Aaron is the guy to watch.

His first film Vigilante amazed audiences with its amazing fight scenes and action. It's twists and turns of a guy trying to punch his way through the bad guys to find the ones who killed his girl friend.

And ICU was an extremely entertaining film.

It made you laugh it made you quiver, it was thrills and voyeurism all the way.

And with Margot Robbie from "Neighbours" starring in both films, what a bonus.

She's hot!

This really isn't that bad a film. Most of the ratings in here are polarising in the extreme.

If you can look beyond the poor cut aways to the murders, and the distorted sound at times, the acting in the main is fairly decent. Margot Robbie shows glimpses of what was to come later in her career with an overall decent performance here.

Story wise, it's straight forward. Kids spy on neighbour and see some 'odd' things going on in his flat, he finds out and seeks to teach them a lesson.

I would say the ending was a bit choppy, the flashback summary akin to the 'Saw' franchise was needless in all honesty, and only served to draw the film out by a minute or two.

Overall, certainly not the worst low budget film out there, and worth a watch.

ICU is great! And so is Vigilante Aash Aaron's other feature film.

Aash seems to be pumping out a film a year over the last two years.

And every one gets better and better.

First there was Vigilante, which was a good action thriller.

Then came ICU which was a groovy black comedy/thriller.

Now apparently Aash is working on a horror called Tormented Souls? As seen on www.aashaaron.com

We can't wait! But the Gold Coast Film Industry Professionals will be supporting this film as well as soon as it comes out.

Go Aash, we admire you.

This movie is above and beyond standards set for Australian film makers.

You are giving Australia a incredibly good name when it comes to film making.

it's about time we had artists like you, who hasn't just done one spectacular film but two, and i'm sure with a great deal more to come.

You have a natural ability for film making and film makers like myself look up to people like you.

Australia's film industry is lacking form and depth and I.C.U has raised the bar and will turn Australia's industry into one definitely worth investing in.

Best of luck for the future.

Well done Aash Aaron Studios.

Vigilante and ICU are awesome!

I especially love how you use local Queensland actors instead of going interstate.

Some stand out actors are actually Aash's previous acting students I found out! All of whom have moved on to many other feature films and TV shows?

Margot Robbie, Christian Radford, James R Dean and of course Ozzie Dervish. (Who just quietly, steals ever scene he is in, in both films). He is one mean looking bastard! Those eyes simply scare the crap out of me. I'd hate to run into him in a dark alley!

For the last two years my husband Jeff and I (Tina) love Aash Aaron's films.

Aash's films Vigilante and ICU have played the last two years in a row at the Gold Coast Film Festival which we always attend.

Whether it be a thriller or an action Aash Aaron always delivers.

ICU was a real murder mystery that kept you guessing right up to the last scene.

Vigilante on the other hand though a kick ass action film still had a lot of twists and turns that Aash is becoming famous for.

We love your films Aash.

There are a group of us here now on the Gold Coast in Queensland. And in Brisbane who have decided to get behind and support as many of our local filmmakers as we can. For too long other in this country see the strange need to pull down anyone even attempting to have a go at making feature films in this country. But it is especially difficult for us up here in Queensland as we are often ignored as a real player in the Australian film industry. Which is strange really as Queensland seems to pump out far more low budget independent films than any other state? So come on guys, do as we are doing and vote, support and comment "positively" on as many Aussie films (especially Queensland ones) as possible. And firstly our group is supporting Aash Aaron for his films ICU & VIGILANTE as Aash has been a true inspiration in this state and especially the Gold Coast as a filmmaker who just does it no matter what anyone may say.

Who cares if Aash Aaron's films are low budget? Who cares if ICU & Vigilante are only average films? They got out there didn't they? Both have been sold to worldwide distributors! And that is what makes a successful filmmaker wouldn't you say? Anyone can criticize, but few can actually put their guts on the line! Aash does, and sure his film's to date are only average on the scale, I'm sure like all artists he will get better per film? Was Divici brilliant the first painting he did? I doubt it.

Well done Aash, keep at it! WM

I am a member of the Gold Coast Film Support Group and proud to join them in their quest to promote local talent, even in their earliest stages.

I saw ICU at the 2009 Gold Coast Film Fantastic and loved every minute of it! The music, the acting, and the story was amazing, like nothing I have seen before. Totally original & creative. Well done Ash you are certainly on your way to the top of the ladder. Christian Radford was my favorite actor, he is like a cross between Brad Pitt & Josh Harriet. Cant wait to see what Ash's next film will be about! I just hope the next film isn't too far away. But when it arrives, me and my crew will be there! Queensland is certainly putting out great filmmakers. Oh an considering this was most the actors first film I think they did an awesome job.

This film was so cool.

The music.

The acting. The kids were brilliant! Hard to believe this was all of them their first feature film or acting job at all? Well done guys.

This was such a different style of film.

It wasn't a horror but their was defiantly scary bits.

It wasn't a comedy but it was damn funny, especially the character Ricky, what a sleaze.

It was a thriller but I kind of just enjoyed the whole ride and it was over before I noticed? Anyway well done to all involved.

I just want to say I am proud to be a fellow Australian filmmaker! Or better still a fellow Queensland filmmaker! Or better still an Australian, Queensland, Gold Coast filmmaker! We are rising to the top guys! Aash was one of the first independent genre filmmakers to just get out there and do it, and now there are loads of us following his lead! Vigilante and ICU are great! Well done Aash! We at the Gold Coast Filmmakers group support you! Cant wait for your next film Tormented Souls and hope to be a part of it! I have only made short films so far but features like you Aash are next on my list.

I too saw this premier in Australia, and had been following its hype through the FB site of a friend of mine. Fortunately the film did meet its potential.

Let me first say that all the younger and older performers and extras all did exceptionally well. I especially liked the adult actor, the father. I suspect the Director & Casting Agent is still happy at this choice. The ending was definitely a surprise, every actor amazed me.

The uses of internal security camera shots and cityscapes was very cool. Later in the foyer between several movie goers we all commented on how much we enjoyed this film.

I must say in closing how disappointing it is that I read such nasty reports pretending to be "honest appraisal of this movie on this site" they are not mysteriously disappearing. They are being removed by this sites owners and not a technical error and is not indicative of an unwillingness for those involved to accept criticism along with praise? I know this filmmaker and he is happy for those qualified to have their say, but not cowardly fake account set up loser who are so pitiful that they feel the need to make up nasty stories to defame this artist. Overall, this was an entertaining movie in which the script, directing, and choice of adult and teenage leads me to see only one thing. Talent.

Whoever feels the need to bag this film or filmmaker you are wasting your time as there are more fans of this filmmaker who receive their newsletters and will be more than happy to tell it as it is rather than the fools who vote one out of ten then pretend that they are intelligently reviewing. You are not doing anything but wasting your time for we are many.

It is a shame that someone who praises Ozzie Devrish who is in both ICU and The Dark Lurking and who is one of the directors good friends also feels the need to attack Ozzie's friend with such childish venom.

I have to say I don't like horror movies. But I went along with my friends and really enjoyed this film. The characters were so real and not over the top Australian. I forgot I was watching an Australian film it was just a great who done it thriller set in a modern age. I had no idea who the killer was and when i thought I knew the writer took me by surprise by taking me down another track. The music was amazing. So different. Totally enjoyable. A nice little joyride of a movie. And with all those twists and turns I cant wait to see it again. Does anyone know when it will be hitting the cinemas? I saw a sneak preview screening. Or when does it come out on DVD as it will be fun tricking my friends into trying to work out who the killer is!

Wow. What a story. I thought I would easily guess who the killer was right? Wrong every time you think you know. BAM Aash Aaron takes you in another direction. And it is not just a rehash of Rear Window either. This isn't just about spying on your neighbors. This is being spied on while spying. Very creepy. Amazing music and pace to the story as the hour & a half zoomed bye. It is just a fun ride from woe to go. With lots of great female eye candy to watch also boys! This is a thriller. A who done it. And a very funny black comedy. Very original & very enjoyable. 10/10 from me! I will be looking out for more of Aash's films in the future I can tell you!
