Bad Bush

I have been on a great Australian/New Zealand roll in the last few years. I just loved Rogue, Black Water, Family Demons, Black Sheep, Acolytes, Cactus, Storm Warning, Dying Breed and especially the Loved Ones so I was soooooo excited when I bought this one off ebay. I just couldn't wait to watch another backwoods survival horror film. This was the worst Aussie film since that debacle Roadkill from 2009 and the calamity Outback from the same Godforsaken year. What happened here??? What started out so promising with great acting turned into one of those ridiculous biker films from the late 60's early 70's. Any moment I was waiting for Joe Bob Briggs audio commentary to pop up to cover up this mess. The main antagonist was so annoying and so not scary that I was practically laughing all the way through. The "twist" ending that the back of the DVD cover said was going to blow you away.....yeah right figured it out 20 minutes in. The only good thing this film had going was that it ended at the 78min mark, which is 78min I will never get back. Shame on everyone involved with this project. Dreck!!!!!!!!!!

Amazingly this project was completed in 12 days and for the budget of a small family car. Good camera work, characters, locations, music. It has a few holes and is a bit slow in parts but is genuinely interesting and has a great story twist at the end. It sucked me in and I was on the edge of my seat a number of times. When the bikers turned up it was pretty amazing. Not sure about the main character Weaver. A definite nut case whose whacked out of his head on the weed and other stuff. This movie shows how film makers can collaborate and deliver a product without mortgaging the rest of their lives to fund it. Not sure what sniff'n the glove has been sniffing.
