One of the Few Good Blackpills Shows
ronkoyama22 July 2018
This is pretty funny in places and the acting is actually decent. Everything else on Blackpills is awful and makes me cringe. Seriously Skinford, You Got Trumped, Playground, A Girl is a Gun are good... the James Franco one is OK... every other show on that app and there's like 100 of them all stink so bad... what are you doing Blackpills?

incredibly strange

Well shot and mostly well acted. However the story is an incredibly weird mash of ideas that don't sit together well. Nothing is well explained. There are so many questions. Why are women being impregnated with bombs? Why are they all wearing matching underwear? Why is she immortal? I could literally fill an entire page with questions like this.

Better than expected
What-a-Punk24 October 2023
This movie was actually quite interesting to watch. Well, the most part of it.

It has style and some unique originality to it. Its gory, dark, messy, yet light and quick.

The plot is not bad, even though it falls flat in the end, it is exciting in the beginning and initially kept me guessing, which in turn kept me watching.

I also feel like characters weren't savored well enough, there were actually multiple interesting ones, so exploring them could've made the movie much better.

I stumbled upon this one randomly, as I usually do, I didn't read the annotation or watch the trailer, so I went in without knowing what awaits and it was worth it this time.

If only it had a better ending to it, it could've been a real gem. Setup is quite cool. Unfortunately, the ending is weak and superficial.

I still enjoyed it. It surely deserves a higher score than it has now.

Charlotte best is fantastic and very photogenic. Shot well, great locations and production design. its trying too hard to be a cross between horror and art. story is weak, not that interesting at all. was so confusing and boring. Part 2 really? Dont waste your time.

Why?
simonemirandaduvall16 September 2020
I just watched this film on STAN and I have so many questions.

What is with all the terrible accents? Did half the cast have to be young women in their underwear? Was the woman with the camera around her neck brain damaged? Where any of these characters meant to be likeable? It's one of those films that is so bad you can't even laugh. My eyes hurt. My ears hurt.

Save your time and give this one a miss.

Ran out of ideas

The first half is good.

The girl is pretty, the dude is funny, the other girl acts well, ... Once you accept the premise of the movie, that the girl can't die and neither can you while you are in contact with her, it makes sense.

The second half is where it loses it all.

Seems like they had no ideas as to where they wanted to go or how to arrive there, and just threw in whatever the first proposal for it anybody made was.

It stops being funny, it's not torture porn at all as another review said, the caricature characters serve no purpose, ... even the time jump in the storytelling are pointless (and not very well paced).

Quite a shame. It could've been good.

Watch the first half. And as soon as you see it derail, don't expect it to pick up at all; just leave.

Very Boring
arfdawg-130 July 2023
Anyway you cut it, this movie is way too disjointed and poorly directed to be good. I am a big fan of aussie horror movies but this one doesn't work. By any stretch of the imagination.

The main characters don't really mesh, or visually fit. About two thirds into the film it becomes a freeforall of unfollowable plot.

The acting is dismal and as I intimated, the writing is poor at best.

To be honest, i was marginally, to very, bored throughout the entire movie. We are given no reason to like the characters -- or even understand why we should.

The denoument is ludicrous and idiotic. What a disappointment.

Unheard of Aussie Gem
LandonEats12 February 2021
I had never heard of this film or it's sequel until it popped up on STAN. I wish Australia would make more films like this. Action, comic book like, colourful characters. The acting was consistent and the cinematography was amazing.

Skin in the game
kosmasp11 December 2023
It's just a touch - or rather the touch! But no pun intended and let's not get ahead of ourselves! The movie starts off quite interestingly - it may feel like an ending, but then again that also can be seen as a beginning. Especially because of what is uncovered - or rather dug up (who to be more accurate).

But all that means nothing to you, if you have not seen the movie and I am only talking about the first couple of minutes. And you can tell right from the beginning that the movie was well thought of and well made to (cinematography that is). The acting is great too and the make up works quite like a charme to say the least.

The idea is quite neat too - and sounds quite enticing, right? Who wouldn't want to be in our main characters shoes ... well at least superficially speaking right? If you like Science Fiction and do not mind a bit of violence and nudity on the side ... well this will float your boat for sure ... and there is a sequel too? Sign me on ... I'll be in touch!
