But don't think too much because then it will all be for naught. There are dangling and unanswered major questions that we are to fill in and the ending is too clever for its own good, revealing that it is not that clever after all.
It is gripping enough but ultimately loses it and we are left with unsolved mysteries and dream like disconnects and the result is a good looking film with some artistic touches, but overall it remains something like an urban legend. There is something there, but just out of reality's reach.
It's worth starting off by saying first time director Dean O'Flaherty does a great job at providing the perfect 'feel' for this Stepford-style suburb with an even darker undertone. The film from start to finish is visually stunning and definitely incorporates beautiful scenes that are more like a work of art.
The acting is also something to boast about. The younger performers pack a punch while Peta Wilson is a force on screen in her dramatic role that requires a lot of nuance.
The storyline here is definitely engaging and pulls you into it's glossy web, but unfortunately it doesn't manage to lead anywhere worthwhile. The ending sadly doesn't feel resolved and not in a smart way. Motivations are never revealed and it feels lazy.
Overall I think the film is excellent despite disappointments.

- TriviaDebut theatrical feature film of Adelaide-based production house Kojo Pictures.
- ErroresThe film is made by an Australian company, and seems based in Australia, but the vehicles used are a mix of right-hand drive (used in Australia, Great Britain, etc.) and left-hand drive (used in U.S., Canada, etc.). When Alan drives Daniel home, it's right-hand drive; when one of the abducted girls gets into the black car, it's right-hand drive; when Sherrie gets up in the morning and goes to the doctor, it's left-hand drive... and yet, she is shown driving on the left-hand side of the road, as they do in Australia.

Suzy: When people visit Sunshine Hills, they comment on the beauty, and the serenity. What they don't talk about, is the real theater resides in our minds. I recall the exact moment that our fear was born. It started when the teenage girls in our neighborhood were being abducted. And number 46 - the *bad* house, with an equally dubious history of rape, and murder - very few tenants.
