Lost Gully Road

Probably the dumbest movie ever. Boring as hell and the only thing that could have helped this film would be gratuitous nudity. And it would have still been bad.

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.

I had to stop half way through this sleeper (as in puts you to sleep) to take a nap. Between the character and the "action" it was to be expected. So some strange things happen, but taking into account it's after she takes an pill, and another and another from the same bottle, I'm taking bets that she's just having a high. I can't even imagine how some people gave this movie 10 stars, I must have been dreaming this disaster. Maybe Casper (or what ever name) waited until I was gone to turn this into a 10 star movie. I gave it a two because the view was stunning and the kangaroo was cute.

Lucy (Adele Perovic) drives up to a house located in bush land and we soon learn that she has plans to wait at the house on her own as she will be meeting up with her sister. She kills time by inspecting the house and investigating the general atmosphere that surrounds her. Lucy and her sister seem to have something planned which is slightly vague but to top it off, something or someone is lurking around Lucy IN OR AND? the house...is it a person? A ghost? Or something worse?

Lost Gully Road is a fairly basic film with a super small cast. Some audiences might be surprised to see the film isn't always dialogue heavy. Instead, we are given some pretty creative shots which ate designed to give the audience a true idea of the atmosphere that surrounds Lucy and the fact that something bad is brewing...

One element I rather enjoyed was the film's audio track/sound effects. At multiple times the film gives the vibe of exactly what Lucy sees and hears. My Surround speakers were loaded with birds flying around, noises in the house, car engines rumbling and the list goes on. The suspense delivered in both audio and visual can't be denied, nor can the creativity of both of these elements. I also enjoyed seeing the film show a few good shots that truly show off the goods that is Australia!

As a plot, the film is slightly vague and the overall enjoyment will be up to the individual. If you're the type of movie lover who enjoys lots of plot and fast paced activity, you may find Lost Gully Road a slightly "slow burn" in regards to the plot department. Lost Gully Road doesn't tell its story in a rush but more so takes its time to build up the suspense which I personally enjoyed. As a thriller I found this film aimed for something above the standard creepy (or slasher) horror film. The look of the film is B grade, but sure, not every film needs an outrageous budget to tell its story. Lost Gully Road made me feel like I was watching a midday film or a TV episode. No matter what you think of the film, as it progresses, viewers will be become more curious to know what the threat is that Lucy encounters while waiting for her sister in this house.

Overall, this is a creative Australian film delivering a thriller with a basic plot and small cast. Lost Gully Road is to be enjoyed at a smooth, slow pace which only builds tension and the viewer's curiosity. It's different, it's creative and there's something to admire here based on the filming style alone. The film's audio track was also fun, showing off the suspense and bit of the fun that is the nature of Australia.

5.7/10 Walkden Entertainment

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.
