This movie has a terrific, unsettling opening scene. Unfortunately... the rest of the film consists of 100 minutes of actors stumbling through the bush occasionally bludgeoning one another with axes. It's a simple story which makes it difficult to adapt to a feature length film, and this attempt fails dismally.
It is an incredibly dull and flat movie. It has an intrusive and annoying soundtrack. The occasional use of pretentious poetic subtitles is awful and detracts from, rather than adding to the chilling atmosphere.
The cinematography of the bush was OK at best. One or two scenes highlighted the spectacular scale or creepy, alien nature of the central west wilderness of Tasmania. The majority was uninspiring.
Do yourself a favor and listen to the energetic Wedding Parties Anything song "A tale they won't believe" instead.
