Brilliant acting all round. A real heart felt story. A real life mirror of how all consuming a first crush can be, and how you can easily get carried away, and your world can come crashing down when feelings aren't reciprocated. It really portrayed well those hard lessons learned in adolescence.

Spoilers. Yes it's a bit woke. Most movies/TV series push agendas/opinions/ideas, whether in your face or subtle. It really doesn't bother me. I don't judge if I like a TV series based on the message they want to get across. The soundtrack was great, as was cinematography & beautiful location. The storyline/writing was good, kept me engaged throughout, and I thought the acting was brilliant all round. The ending was good I thought; I'm an effed up killer and so are you so let's live in this cult town and be happy lol; wild.

A really perfect movie. Raw/brutal/emotional. It's hard to get that mix of action and heart felt drama right, but this nailed it. Cast was perfect. Well written dialogue, tension was kept throughout. Cinematography gave that kind of 90's movie vibe, sound was great. I'm not crying. You are lol. Well worth a watch.

I didn't have high expectations going into this, as I've seen some pretty terrible shark movies lol. But this was perfect. The cinematography was on point; the boat shot with that heavy sky was just wow. The use of music was great. The intro scene with a no bs straight to the point kill, set the tone, and it only got better. You have to give it to Courtney, to really act with your eyes like that is a skill, you could only see his deranged, psycho character through and through, giving a real electric intensity. And you have to give it up for the doggy, they can always tell a bad guy lols. This film is well worth a watch, and gives me hope for future shark movies!

I like the idea of the film and the moral of the story. And Anthony and Bill did a great job as always. It did keep my attention throughout. I just think the script didn't quite hold up. It felt like it was missing something. I know it's a remake and I haven't seen the original so I don't know if they were trying to keep in line with the original or not. It's reminiscent of phone booth. Some people complain of being bored, but I quite like a film where most of it is set in a small space, it gives a chlostraphobic, tense vibe and it's realistic enough. Cinematography was beautiful. Spoiler. On a horror note, it might have been more fun if Eddie got tortured and killed at the end, and then the film ends with William setting the car up for the next thief. I think that would be cool because in life you don't always get second chances and some people never learn, Eddie had more than enough chances to be a good Dad but chose not to be. And ya know William said he had a few months left to live, he really could have clocked up some kills lol. Just my 2 cents. Worth a watch.

Spoilers. This one was tough. Great cast, good idea, just poorly executed I think. The shaky camera work was bad. I found it a little insulting to the audience that they kept going back to show you what happened, when it was pretty obvious from the first take. And, I take it was the local butcher, asking for only lamb legs, when the organs and all the rest sell just as well. And they said that someone had been going round cutting off lamb legs, I mean in a community that small, the police would figure out pretty quick where they were ending up and who done it. Also, a young fit lad who's grown up on the Moreland's twisting his ankle is a bit far fetched. I grew up near the sea scrambling on cliffs and over boulders every day and walking or running that terrain becomes second nature, very rare to get an injury. I dunno, it kind of fell flat at the end. Could have actually been a good dark comedy. A creature in the night stealing sheep leggies lol.

I haven't laughed so hard at a film in ages. I'm not sure why this film doesn't have great reviews. It was basically a modern day 80s dark comedy, it gave me nostalgia for all the horror films I grew up with. If you gave it a bad review, then the theme might have gone over your head. It was really brilliant writing, thoroughly enjoyed it.

I don't really understand the bad reviews for this film. It was absolute perfection. It had a long run time, and I didn't get bored once, I laughed out loud so many times. It flowed perfectly. The cast were great. It felt real. Really intelligent writing, just perfect all round.

Love the cast individually, however, casting just wasn't right for this. Didn't really feel any chemistry between the 2 main characters. Considering it was supposed to be a love story, the sex scene could have been a bigger part of the film. The effects were cool, it was like a mash up the last of us, silent hill, sleepy hollow and a bit of 80s horror/sci fi; visually fun to watch, defo could be a cool game. Soundtrack was good, was cute that they added a lil chess and drum sesh as a nod to the actors previous work. As for the story, I find it hard to believe that people who work off the books for governments and corporations to assassinate people, have the capacity for empathy and love, and if i were a loan wolf type, I certainly wouldn't be risking my life to save someone else, if my job is killing lol. I dunno just doesn't add up for me. I also don't buy the PTSD. Again, if you are a professional gun for hire, you wouldn't be able to do that job unless you could dissociate and switch off your emotions, if it gave you nightmares you wouldn't be able to do your job, that's my 2 cents anyway lol. And then we have the experiments trying to make super soldiers. I can buy that. However, in the film it's said that these hybrid creatures can think tactically, if that were true, they would all have escaped when both characters were asleep and not manning their posts, figured out a way around the mines, or escaped out through the river system etc. Then we have the boss, who knows that the 2 characters are working together, and knows that they have accessed their computer system which shows you how to detonate the whole site, and yet after she tells one character to kill the other, knowing full well he wouldn't, still turns up in person to a site that she knows they could detonate, and again to a site with 2 highly experienced soldiers that have a massive supply of weapons and are cable of long distance sniper shots. You wouldn't be a boss of a secret operation like that and be that stupid at the same time. So lots of contradictions, the run time was a bit long. If you can switch your brain off to these things then I would just recommend to watch for the effects, definitely the best part of the film.

Let me start by saying I really don't enjoy movies with musical numbers, and I loved this! Every single element of this movie was just pure perfection, I haven't enjoyed watching something so much in years! I am also a cancer survivor who got broken up with during treatment, like so many people do, so to have that truth at the heart of the story really made me feel seen; if only I'd had a monster... The emotions of the characters came through the screen and really hit me, and of course, what a bloody satisfying ending. All movies makers should aspire to the highest level that is this film. It will stay with me.
