Nice effects though.

I'll tell you why so serious

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Blistering performances.

This is by no means a bad Bmovie. It's very good for what it is, a low budget mystery.What's with the hating on this film? If you need a reference, it's more Lost than a Walking dead action flick and it relies mostly on little dialogue, scenic shots and suspense which is good because the casts acting talents are a little cringe worthy.I was oddly drawn in by the story line and the original concept. If you are looking for a high paced scream fest, than this is not for you. If a enticing original story is this is absolutely a very original concept and I can see someone picking this up in the future with a blockbuster high budget, Fassbender featured, remake. Mark my words, I could be very right.

Awful. Easily one of the worst movies I've ever seen. One star for the beautiful eerie landscapes, otherwise there is simply nothing else to comment on. Don't waste your time. I am well versed in the intellectual movie genre, but this is not it. It's two hours of time vacuumed into oblivion. Now I am supposed to add a few more lines for the review to be long enough, but believe me, there is nothing to add here. There are movies that are not worth one star out of ten, and there is no point to beat around the bush or gorge on the negatives. If you are stubborn like me, you would perhaps spend 80 minutes or so waiting to see if it is a slow-unfolding gem with a plot twist. Let me save your time: it is not.

Wow, such a high rating, seriously? Well, it had me fooled.I thought this might have been some decent independent horror film, based on the summary and the rating, but boy, was I wrong...There is nothing going on, just some admittedly beautiful landscapes and desolated areas are shown, which the protagonists visit or pass by, so much for the value of this little flick. Well, the acting is OK, too. Unfortunately, I just didn't care about the characters. What about the horror/action/suspense?Similar to salt in some other ghost films, they use the ashes of the dead to ward off the entities. Then there is a little infrared camera 'action' to show the threats, which look alright but not more and are definitely not horrifying. Anyway, for an island allegedly full of roaming ghosts, that happens quite rarely. And even rarer are the actual 'attacks'. The only real scary parts in the entire film are the radio scenes, displaying a horribly annoying taste in music, even the occasional ghostly radio interceptions are way more melodic.Halfway through I took a break for a nap as serious fatigue overwhelmed me.Horror? No. Science fiction? Not really. Boredom? Bingo!

This movie is very simple; a man goes after his younger brother who is lost in a territory that has been mysteriously quarantined in an area that is desolate. Everything has been abandoned saved for a creature that has been killing humans and leaving their bodies to rot. Brian, our hero is tracking his brother Sam, who has been leaving clues as to whereabouts. These creatures in the area are going after Sam, who has been studying them, tracking them and learning their weaknesses. They are unable to detect you if you are around dead bodies or if you are covered with the remains of the dead (ashes). They are attracted to electricity and they can be seen with infrared. All these creatures nuances have been meticulously detailed in a book and left for Brian by Sam. The story progresses in delightful twists and turns, encapsulating the audience with the frantic chase between hunter and prey.As for the movie visuals, it was shot against the beautiful backdrop of Austrailia, with familiar landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House. The visuals capture the beautiful layout of the continent and simple shots add so much more to the story and the feeling of emptiness that amplify the story that there are only two beings on the entire continent.This character driven piece keeps you involved at all times. When you think that the scene will drag, something comes out of the dark and pulls you through an emotional roller coaster for a few seconds, then you are back again. This particular filmmaker is no stranger to making pieces on a low budget with superior casting and storyline and this specific film is no exception to his track record. How To Save Us is a great independent piece and should not be missed!
