Wow! What fun! How cool was that? Australians have always made incredible films. Just throw this one on the Barbie too. No, seriously, go see this instead. See what I did there?

Gallipoli, the Mad Max films, Animal Kingdom, The Square (2008), Chopper and The Horseman all quickly come to mind.

This strives for the same excellence and actually does so in horror.

It's all things scary movies should be.

Above all it's creative, fresh and new.

Funny at parts. Yes!! Got to have that humor.

It's beautiful in others.

It's short. About an hour and a half. That's how you do it! All these bloated two to three hours American films, ugh!

It's well shot, frightening and disgusting at times.

The cast is amazing and due to breakout from this film for sure.

The lead, Sophie Wilde as Mia is captivatingly gorgeous, commands the screen and scotches her every scene.

The filmmakers, the Phillippous need to continue on their way in making excellent Australian original content.

Please don't be swayed or wooed by big American studios trying to bailout their own sinking and stale franchises.

I should have known these directors had a hand, ha, a hand, get it? Wow. But they did, in working on The Babadook.

And Miranda Otto, whom I have loved for years now but no more so in one of the greatest films of all time, The Thin Red Line.

Love her!

Here she plays Sue. The mother of two of the teens and a mother figure to Mia.

This is a great horror film. It will become a classic. I can see the hand being merchandised and sold as Halloween house decor already. Yikes.

Terrific suspense. Believable action and dialogue.

This isn't just the Best Horror Movie of 2023.

It's One of the Best Movies in All of 2023.
