Eraser Children

Kudos to the apparently young filmmaker for pulling together the funds for this and having some sort of 'talent' (in inverted commas for a reason) in directing this, although this sorry excuse for a film shouldn't be screened outside of his group of friends. I was bored, horrified (that it got funded), bored and sleepy watching this mess of a movie...and bored. Did I mention that? The satire that the director is aiming for is completely missing from the film and I'm not sure he understood that to begin with.

On a side note: having friends and acquaintances sign up to IMDb especially to write positive reviews and give good scores? Not a good idea. Awful, awful film.

This film is great! The story is intense and some of the dark scenes leave you feeling pretty sad but that is all how you should feel because that is what the characters are feeling.

A very very talented group of young filmmakers have made this film for a low budget of $15 - $20 thousand. I saw it in Sydney at the Dendy cinemas. It really made me think after I watched it and so to me that is a sign of a great film.

Nathan Christoffel is a director to watch out for. He is only in his mid twenties so I am predicting big things from him. This is a great first effort. So ambitious! I would really like to see what he can do with a proper budget and paid actors because what he has done with no resources and actors that have no experience is just an amazing achievement. Hats off to the team! I hope the team of Nathan and Adrian Kristoffersen (the DOP of the film) stick together because when I watched them talk at the screening it was obvious that they have a great working relationship. A great film!

I love going to film festivals and seeing something I never would get the chance to see. I watched Eraser Children in Colorado. I really liked it.

Visually it looks stunning and the storyline is something new to me which is nice. In the film technology seems to be worse than it is now and fuel has run out (which I think will happen to us soon). This film comments on these current issues but in a more of the vein of a satire.

The actors are great with highlights being the transvestite maid in all the commercials and the actor that plays one of the leads, Alfred. You can see these filmmakers have a clear style. Would be interesting to see what they do next.

I don't think this film is for everyone. But I have to say I really enjoyed it. I saw it in Melbourne at a preview screening. I didn't know what to expect. It was made on a pretty low budget but looks really tops.

The story follows a worker who is stuck in a totalitarian society and taken underground by a old kinda hopeless man who thinks he can change the world by killing the leader.

I saw it on a pretty small projection screen so I would like to see it again in a cinema. All in it was a lot of fun. I recommend it to people who like movies a bit different.

Viewed this in Newtown when it was the opening night film of the Fantastic Planet film fest. I was surprised to see such a unique film at a Sci Fi festival. Great story and boy does it look nice! Reminded me of some more euro style films rather than the usual Australian films we are used ta seeing!

Bring back genre film-making I say. Australia needs more films like this. More genre film-making.

This film won 'Best Australian Film' at the awards of Fantastic Planet and rightly so! It is great. It is a little off the wall and I am sure there will be some sooky old Australians who won't like it because they just want boring ozzy dramas like movie versions of home and away!

This film rocks on many levels!
