it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

If you've grown tired of most of the crap that comes out of Hollyweird, you have to give this a flick a try. I must admit to really liking B movies. There are some good ones out there, and "Throwback" is one of them. Will you see millions of dollars in special effects? NO. Snobby actors who are just looking for a payday? NO. What you do get though, are some good actors, good writing and good directing. The location was an excellent choice and they did a good job in how they presented the monster. AND also unlike Hollywood, the ending was good. The main actor and the writer/director have another collaboration coming out soon, and I am looking forward to it as well.

This was a bit poor to be honest and felt like it went on forever. I love low budget horror, especially Bigfoot and werewolf movies but the cardinal sin is to not show the monster (even if it's a ropey homemade costume attempt). I can understand the last reviewer smelling something fishy about the previous amazing ones as this is nowhere near the best Australian movie of the year and would probably be lucky to get into the top 50. On the plus side it didn't take itself too seriously and the characters were likable enough.The plot was average but could have made up for it with a bit of gore. It gives me no pleasure in saying this but overall it's a grim effort.

As the third reviewer I might possibly be the first non-production associated reviewer here. Reviewers one and two have given this rather bad film glowing rewards. This is a badly directed, cast and acted. The shot angles do not flow into each other well. The monster is a joke, plus you never really get to see it clearly. The sound effects and sound mix are pretty ordinary, plus the music, which in itself is not bad, has been ruined buy getting mixed as flat as a dry lake bed.I normally believe if you have nothing nice to say don't say anything. But as the first two reviewers here have deliberately lied about the quality of this film, I just needed to set things straight. Also the script ... hmmmm ... most of the actors do some pretty illogical things. For example, a character is handcuffed to a one inch thick tree root. There are numerous hefty sized rocks within reach. Rather than working on chipping away at the tree root, the script has our poor character pulverize his hand with one of the rocks so that he can slip it through the hand cuffs. Go figure.It is an amateur effort. At the start it was definitely a comedy (so I thought) then it started taking itself seriously. Better to have kept it comedic.And Holy Hail storms Batman, the director, IMDb name Travoose, sent me messages filled with four letter words and threats very soon after I posted this review. What a nice guy hey?

Don't let the small cast Throw you Back, this is quite a good film. Which I hope finds a bigger audience through distribution. I was able to watch this with the cast and crew at a special sneak peek showing this past May. And I have to tell everyone I really enjoyed it. The film reminds me of the times when a film could shock and scare you, make you wonder what is going to happen next, while not revealing anything to the viewer until the final act. The pacing of the film is fresh and exciting. Also reminds of those early Universal Monster films as well as most recent Raiders of the Lost Ark. Beautifully shot in Australia, showcases locations never seen on film. Acting is also top notch, especially the bad guy.I know I mention nothing about what the film was about, that for you the viewer to seek out and enjoy for yourselves. So check it out when or as soon as you can.
