100 Bloody Acres

This movie is well acted with just the right amount of humour to offset the dark theme.

Everyone plays their parts well and the story never gets boring.

A great cast and great direction.

Recommended.

"100 Bloody Acres" is a very entertaining little horror comedy from Oz. I don't have a whole lot to say about it, except that I enjoyed it.

The set-up is that three people are travelling to some music festival, where they flag down a truck driven by a guy in the fertilizer business, played by Damon Herriman, who recently played Charles Manson. They don't know that the origins of this famous fertilizer sold by Herriman and his brother - unlikely Aussie sex symbol Angus Sampson - is ground up human flesh.

We get some pretty typical scenes with people tied up, trying to escape, but the movie really sings with the scenes with Sampson and Herriman. Sampson's portrayal as the gruff, intimidating brains behind the evil operation is the movie's strong suit.

The movie has a few quite violent moments, but at least it spares us the tedious torture porn rubbish we get in so many horror flicks these days.

As a horror comedy, of course the movie is never scary or suspenseful, but nor is it really laugh out loud funny. However, it does manage a light, humorous tone throughout that keeps a smile on your face.

It's bit of everything but not subtle. Watchable if you have time. Mildly entertaining. Nothing special or memorable. Acting, directing was good, though. 5.5/10.

In 2012's 100 Bloody Acres we are introduced to a couple of hitchhikers, that find themselves in the hands of two brothers who own a fertilizer business using a secret ingredient. It's an Australian movie and that is made obvious right from the start and we immediately get thrown into a humorous chaotic mess that gets worse and worse, but in a good way. But only for the viewer of course because the movie is funny, bloody and definitely has some gore to show. The characters are all twisted and none of them are perfect and the movie had similar vibes to "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" but without the fact that the two brothers are actually innocent. An even though these characters all have their sins and mistakes you will root for them in the end.

I definitely had my fun watching this and I thought the movie was highly entertaining, but obviously not flawless. And there's actually cameo from John Jarratt and it was a pleasure to see him in a movie like this. If you enjoy bloody horror comedies I can definitely recommend to watch this. [6,2/10]

Entertaining enough to keep your attention. some laughs,some blood.worth wasting an hour and a half. 7 out of 10
