Lost Gully Road

I have been patient for 45 minutes into this movie. There has been nothing suspenseful, no sense of impending anything (bad, good or amusing.) The main character, Lucy, needs to develop some real interests because all she can seem to do is be bored and annoyed that there isn't a television. What I wouldn't give for a week where she is, quiet and peaceful, ghost or no ghost. I've watched this far in hopes that maybe there is a subplot involving the sister and why Lucy is hiding in the woods. Is the 'man' they keep discussing, Lucy's partner but Cassie is cheating with him while trying to convince Lucy that he is dangerous to her? Maybe Cassie and the man are trying to make Lucy think she's crazy? I don't know and at this point I don't even care. Lame, boring, and annoying.

I thinking that Lost Tree was a bad movie, maybe it has ridiculous plot, BUT it HAS real plot. Lost Gully Road - film with good actors play, but without any plot at all. You have pointless chatting about someone named Henry and a bag and it all goes to nothing. Its not a plot. And even real story line - its a good plot (maybe) for 10 minutes short, not for actual movie. Its not scary, not interesting, you only can amuse yourself with antics of Adele Perovic - I think she did that, because even she feel sorry for someone who will go see this "film". So one star for camera work, one star for how good actors play. And yes - in sound department all was just tolerably. And three screamers in last 1/3! You guys really have a nerve.

Lost Gully Road is an Australian supernatural movie. It is a movie that does take its time to tell the tale of a young woman hiding out in a house in the Australian bush.

The isolation and boredom set in, but odd thing begin to happen.

The movie does show the isolation and loneliness that the main character begins to experience.

This is a very creepy and atmospheric movie. A few people have complained that it is too slow and really not much happens for long stretches.

The movie invokes a sense of eerieness that really gives the viewer an unsettling feeling.

The acting is good, if a little minimal but again, it does help the movie's sinister's undercurrent .

This may not be a film for everyone, but for those who stick with it, will be rewarded.

Heading out into the wilderness, a battered woman retreats to a remote cabin in the woods under the instruction of a friend to escape the torment of her abusive ex, but the longer she stays there, the more convinced she gets that someone or something might be inside the cabin with her.

This one turned out to be a solid enough indie effort. Among the better features here is the engrossing and engaging setup that makes this quite fun to get going. Knowing little about the truth behind her being there at the cabin but given enough context and elves through her interactions with the caretaker or those who she runs into along the way that it spells out the truth about her purpose there which is a great way to build up our sympathy towards her. As a bonus, that also plays a part in the genuine tension and thrills that emerge the longer she's there as it paints a potentially obvious explanation for what's going on with her frazzled and vulnerable state being the cause of her to run wild with an untrustworthy imagination causing everything to happen. That leads nicely into the film's intriguing series of psychologically-driven haunting scenes. As this all plays with the idea of whether or not the building is haunted or if it's just in her head, the constant influx of voices and whispers she hears around the cabin, whether it's the voices calling out while she's cleaning up, restocking items, and trying to hide out. The longer she's there through contrivance by putting the hiding plan through it's courses, the more these elements start playing with her desire to leave and the increase in supernatural activity which combine into a thrilling finale where the truth is finally revealed about the haunting in the cabin that features some chilling moments throughout here. Overall, these factors manage to hold this one up for the most part. There are a few issues to be had with this one. One of the main drawbacks is the sluggish and lethargic pace that takes quite a while before anything ends up happening as the main drama on display comes at the expense of genre trills. Keeping her isolated at the cabin, where the majority of the interactions with others is limited to phone-call updates on the situation that sent her there and the uncertainty over it being real or in her had all meant that very little happens for a large part of the film that can make this seem somewhat boring. That also highlights the other issue here in its low-budget origins are often highlighted with the scaled-down production, lack of extravagant sets or effects, and a generally underwhelming scale that some might find problematic, which all hold this down.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Language and Violence.

This appeared on my streaming service and I was looking forward to watching it on this cold, rainy evening as I really enjoy a good isolated cabin in the woods scenario. Unfortunately this was the most boring film I have ever seen. The actress is wooden and can't act for peanuts. She cannot hold an entire film on her own, how the heck was she picked..... is she the daughter or a relative of the producer or financial backer? Expecting us to watch her wooden face for almost one and a half hours, along with her bowl haircut and pierced nose is really asking a lot of the audience. Zero charisma and talent. Now if we had a Ruth Wilson playing the part it may have been something else but it is what it is..a stinker. Better to paint your ceiling and watch it dry.
