So much average

Dreadfully Boring

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

this Australian horror suspense film crush 2009 is about a male student Julian who is looking after a house of a rich family his relation with his girlfriend is going well enough but things go bad when a stranger girl Anna appears in the house he begins to like her and soon the sexual tensions between them leads to a disastrous end.first of all this movie is quite hilarious at many point the way this project takes itself so serious i don't' know if the script was written this way or the directors made some changes it is beyond me the acting here is atrocious the cast includes many unknown actors few hot ladies are there now our hero Christopher Egan needs to ease up a bit he was like all the production burden was on his head he gave a annoying performance but this film is worth checking out only for Emma Lung i mean what a beautiful looking girl i hope Hollywood notice her she reminds me so much of Monica Bellucci the makeup given to her in the ending is horrible but she pulled it off with her good acting skills.climax is pure fun when Julian finds out she is a dead girl and gets his butt kicked by Anna.during the credits they both are laying on the bed scene was out of nowhere it absolutely killed the whole film made it look like a parody.just forget everything the story is not sensible who cares if he was dreaming or not this film belongs to Emma Lung she kept me glued to the seat.overall Crush 2009 has its moments most important is the proper use of daytime environments for suspense. my rating is 3/10.

Well, I am from Perth & IMHO the only honest review on this page is from the much maligned 'Craig in Canada'.I won't reinvent the wheel; Craig hit the nail on the head. That anyone could describe this cast in such glowing terms, much less the plot & scriptwriting is beyond me.Within seconds of Egan opening his mouth, I was cringing at his awful accent. And as has been pointed out, that he is supposedly American adds nothing to the plot, so why torture us?The frat boy friends are a complete mystery. And as for the supposed 'can't see it coming from a mile off' ending....spare me. Saw it coming from about 10 minutes in.I'm all for encouraging good local film making. But this is most definitely NOT it! I can't see anyone independent of the production company who made this lemon holding the glowing views that have been expressed here. And the endless references to Nexus by name pretty much confirm that to be the case.If you're missing your dose of bad Australian soapie in the off-season, then maybe this will take the edge off. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

I just bought it last week and watched it and I loved it! Being a tae kwon do devotee in my younger days I loved the fight scenes and the music was fantastic. I thought Chris Egan and Emma Lung were brilliant. I faintly remember Chris Egan from Home and Away but that was a long time ago and he is a solid actor, he is perfect in this role. He doesn't look too bad either! Emma Lung is absolutely gorgeous and is an absolute standout in this movie. Her progression from seductress to something a lot more is incredible to watch. What a great story with some really neat twists. I am going out to buy some more copies for Christmas presents!

Don't be seduced by the user rating. This movie is awful, probably one of the worst I've ever seen.If you're familiar with Home and Away, you'll probably recognise the main character. You'll also recognise the standard of acting, perhaps even the quality of writing.Our main character Julian is American for some imperceptible reason, but unfortunately his accent wavers between Australian and some poor attempt at vague American sounding. The writers aren't really imaginative enough to come up with a reason for anything, so apparently he's an American on a Student Visa studying architecture and doing martial arts. This ultimately has nothing to do with the movie and fails to tie you to the character.The pacing is terrible, frankly if you do happen to make it to the last 15 minutes the payoff isn't really worth it.If you can put aside the terrible Aussie soap style writing, the crappy plot, the bad acting and the unsatisfying payoff, you might get some nice views of Perth. So that's good I guess.Note: For those attacking my person, I appreciate that it's much easier to launch personal attacks and speculate about my interests in why this film sucks, so by all means knock yourself out. I'm also pleased to inform you that I am actually Australian (although I spend time in Canada too), which I figured would've been obvious based on my comments.
