The first must-see film of the year.
... View MoreThe acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

... View MoreWow, only a 4.5 IMDb rating?? It was a great horror film with excellent suspense & acting. The only thing I would say is that the name of the film really doesn't do it justice. Anyway, a group of people from different backgrounds go out on a safari in a Land Rover type safari truck. They stop for a moment to enjoy the scenery then suddenly people from the group start disappearing. What happens to them is truly a nightmare! It has a "Wrong Turn" kind-of plot to it where the people are basically hunted by mysterious people hidden in the brush. Sure, it's not a 10/10 film, but what horror movie is? Suspenseful until the ending credits! Solid 8/10
... View MoreA dodgy zero-budget South African horror film. I had high hopes for this one, as there aren't many mainstream films made in South Africa and the exotic terrain and wildlife automatically makes for an interesting movie backdrop. Unfortunately after a mildly promising introduction this turns out to be bottom of the barrel entertainment, one that's entirely predictable and clichéd by genre standards.The whole film is based around a night-time safari drive which is interrupted by a gang of murderous poachers keen on covering their trail. Unfortunately for the viewer, most of the people on the safari are irritating and unlikeable. The first half offers an acceptable build-up, but when all the action hits in the second half it takes place in complete darkness, so that the viewer is squinting all the while trying to work out what's happening.Not a lot really, other than people being butchered with machetes all the while. It all plays out familiarly, and it seems in part to be a reflection on Apartheid relations in South Africa: the beginning with whites murdering blacks, then the blacks rising up and slaughtering the rich white folk, before a twist at the climax with the whites serving justice on the blacks. Hints at black magic add up to little and NIGHT DRIVE as a whole is a nasty and pointless little exercise.
... View MoreA night drive through the South African bush turns into a deadly game of survival after a group of tourists find themselves being hunted by deadly poachers. Writer/director Justin Head relates the gripping story at a quick pace, maintains an unsparingly tough and gritty tone throughout, generates a considerable amount of nerve-wracking suspense, and makes nice use of the desolate bush locations. The solid acting by the capable cast keeps this picture humming: Christopher Beasley as disgraced cop Sean Darwin, Corine Du Toit as the depressed and suicidal Karen, Greg Melvill-Smith as rugged game warden Jack, Yule Masiteng as Jack's easygoing partner Akani, Brandon Auret as obnoxious antagonistic cokehead jerk Ian, Antonio David Lyons as the dashing Denzel, David Sherwood as kindly old gent Rodger Turner, Clare Marshall as Rodger's sweet wife Mary, and Matshepo Maleme as the feisty Tumi. The shocking moments of raw and gruesome violence pack a savage punch. Trevor Calverley's sharp cinematography provides an impressive slick look. Benjamin Willem's throbbing tribal score does the rousing trick. A neat'n'nasty little item.
... View Moremay i ask one thing here where was the director of this movie who was giving direction for everything here how to film it it looks like he ran off in middle of the film leaving the cast & crew on their own to do whatever with the project.what category this film falls under is out of my head is suspense,comedy or spoof this film is called night suicide because it is filled with some serious nonsense.the plot is about some tourists come to south Africa and get involved with bad guys playing games with them.i salute these actors who were involved during the shooting of this horror some real patience they showed the script was written by kids.there is hardly in light use in this film the cameramen and technical department were sleeping i guess second is that unnecessary blood and gore instead of the good narrative,its been done so many times like kidnapping,revenge and murder some people are saying online that it is torture porn i totally agree with critics and the people i have wasted my time and money on this boring drama with overlong running time.overall night drive 2010 should not be watched even once its not worth it my rating is 1/10. Skipp it
