Drifter

We all know this post apocalyptic medium has been well explored, and some suspension of disbelief is always required. What I will say about this film is that it manages something fresh and groundbreaking in this genre, in that it manages to eschew character development, acting AND plot to deliver something so truly pointless that you almost imagine you've suffered some kind of cataclysmic brain bleed and missed something.

I'm sure the actors employed are not so completely risible (it's genuinely not possible)

I really hope the writers get the help they so richly deserve.

The inclusion of the requisite gore and what (if you're 8 years old) amounts to twists/upsets probably earned the director some points, but I'm still searching for some abstract message or meaning. I'll not give any plot points away (can't call it spoilers, as there really isn't anything to spoil; apart from perhaps the careers of some really good looking actors.

I have contacted Sky in the hope that there was 20 minutes of cohesion lost in broadcast, I'm not expecting a particularly helpful response from the Murdoch clan.

Anyhow, usual caveats of 'this is just my opinion, some mong who likes Mrs Brown's Boys will probably jizz their pants over it' etc, but if you're a horror/film fan/human give this one a miss. it's not even good enough to be trite wankery.

The movie was so slow, I took to fast forwarding it to get to a scene where something interesting actually happened, and before I knew it, I'd fast-forwarded through the entire thing. It's not scary, it's not gory, you can barely understand much of the dialog, the music adds nothing but more annoyance, and it makes little to no sense. I get that it takes a lot of work to make a movie, even a bad one, but I wonder if anyone involved even watched this after it was done. If they had, they would hopefully have realized they needed to start over.

The music and sound ruin this film. Both are horrible and cringe-worthy. I have nothing else to say because I couldn't focus on anything positive with amateur-hour going on overlaying every scene / camera shift. I'm not sure anyone previewed the final product before deciding it was good to go.

Listen, I get the bad reviews I really do but this delivered gore, action, and some very strange, original characters. The camera angles and score also kept my interest and built up intrigue but I must complain about the second half of the film, it really falls flat and nothing much happens. Would I run out and buy the DVD, no but like I said the movie was "fun" and the actors really were dedicated to their roles, especially the murderous townies.

Have you ever seen a kids school project where they try so hard to do something awesome but the end result is just something sad and a mere shadow of what could have been something good?

Well this is like that.

The videography is beautiful. The movie itself could have been something good. But they just tried to damn hard to be like other directors (see Tarantino) and instead the entire culmination of all of their hard work went to pieces.

At least the scenery was nice.
