Van Diemen's Land (2009)
Very very watchable
I really liked this movie. The story builds slowly with layer upon layer of dread, I really felt uncomfortable. The subject matter is such that you are never going scream this movies praises from the rooftops. It is a difficult and uncomfortable story to tell, but nonetheless a story well worth telling, and in my opinion, well told.
I thought the actors we well chosen and played their characters descent into madness with frightening realism.
The director was clever enough to shy away from gratuitous gore, but still managed to tell a very convincing horror story.
I am 40 years old, and watched this with my wife and the in laws who are both in their sixties.
My wife and I both liked the movie, but the in-laws disliked it. perhaps this had a bit to do with their generation.
I watched this movie with an open mind and I was entertained from start to finish, and had plenty to talk about during the after movie coffee.
Dead Fish (2005)
Did you see the same film I did?
I Love Oldman, Stamp and Zane. They play their parts exceptionally well, however the film itself is still a lemon. If you love Oldman et AL, then do not watch this, it will ruin your opinion of them. AVOID.
Oldman sold me on True Romance and Leon, then after all this time he does this, his ability cannot save this lemon of a film. Don't waste your rental money on this tripe.
For those of you who rave about this film, were you watching the same film as me???
The actors did their best but this was never going to get off the ground. Please let this die in peace and lets pretend Mr Oldman was never in this at all.
