... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreThis movie really doesn't deserve the bad reviews it has received and I wonder at the motives behind some of them. The movie is a well paced,sometimes humorous,monster flick,made in a typically Aussie way. Some good performances,by Aussie actors and incorporating some aboriginal lore,makes for a fun monster movie which I thoroughly enjoyed. The cgi could have been better,particularly in the monster fight scene with the aboriginal elder,but it wasn't something that bothered me too much as the monster was pretty cool. All in all I found it much better than a lot,and I mean a lot,of American made monster movies.I would watch this again just because it is a fun movie. Aussie horror is coming of age,I just wish there was more of it.
... View MoreI had high hopes of this flick as Australian creature features of the past such as rogue and razorback were well constructed. This however fell dry and flat with scheduled cliché Aussie songs and slang sayings. The generic character stereotypes were spot on the money for this sort of movie however they were mostly all overacted and generally unbelievable at best. as a fond fan of the horror genre this movie seemed to cross over to the action genre after approximately 50 minutes of boring character building. There were no scare scenes nor shock factor moments. There were no real comedic moments which are usually familiar within Australian films however I did find myself having a giggle at the terrible creature effects and the unrealistic script. The one star for this movie is attributed to the stunning Queensland scenery and most of the outdoor backdrop shots. To conclude, this could have been an extended episode of home and away which may have had a better reception among those viewers.
... View MoreRed Billabong I absolutely loved it. This film is original, with a fantastic cast and brilliant writing and is something I feel everyone will love, not just a select few. I hope to see so much more movies from Luke and Carly. It's creativity and CGI is fantastic and the first of its kind, with a monster involved. It's a must see I'm going to go see it again with friends and family. Support this fantastic film. The film centres around two brothers. Farmer Tristan (Tim Pocock – X-Men Origins: Wolverine) who has stayed and worked on the farm since his grandfather's death and Nick (Dan Ewing – Home & Away) who left the farm years earlier with no explanation
... View MoreRed Billabong is something completely unique and refreshing. We have never seen an Aussie film like this before, and i think that's what makes it a winner. Beautiful Australian scenery, mixed with a hot cast, with a few familiar faces along with lots of new ones too, are the perfect receipe. The cinematography is amazing, as is Luke Sparke's direction and writing. You can tell he was influenced by films such as Jurassic Park. I don't mind at all, because that is one of my favourite films ever! The characters are the kind that keep you invested. I love the chemistry and the bromance between Dan Ewing and Tim Pocock's characters, brothers Tristan and Nick. There's no secret this is a monster flick, but what exactly is the Red Billabong monster? That, you will have to find out for yourself.
