I watch a lot of horror films and this was the only one that really got to me over the last few years, not because it was more nasty than others (it's on the same level as Hostel or the Saw films) but because it spent enough time to set up characters and a situation that felt real.

I saw about 40 minutes of it off & on, missed the ending. It did make me think that they should have been in the Australian equivalent of the AA....Looked quite good, I thought. The fun ended when the dog accidentally flicked the Channel switch to Big Brother--at which point my cat lobbed a grenade into the TV. Things became a bit hazy after that....

Spoilers pt 2

ok......

Ben wakes in the shed / mine with rabid / mad dogs barking at him in a cage and a dead body nailed to the opposite wall. He pulls his hands up over the nails and blood squirts onto his body. He escapes and runs for the bush. He passes out overnight and a body is seen over him in the morning. It turns out to be some tourists and they take him to a nearby town. Ben is placed into a plane and taken to hospital.

It then shows Ben in a suit going to court. The screen says that there was only one witness and the police thought his story was suspicious, but finally after 4 months in custody he was released without charge.It says where he now lives in South Western Australia confirming it was a real story. The last shot is Mick walking into the Australian sunset.

this is very abridged

Eggsackerly!

just to add , the police were suspicious of Ben due , to never finding the bodies of the girls plus he had no idea where he was kept captive.
The police were never able to find where Mick lived or the whole torture den.

Backpackers Beware

any given 20 mins isnt enough to appreciate the film IMO


come back and slate it when youve seen it all

Word.
It's especially not enough to make judgments on the necessity or gratuitousness of the violence, because with no build-up or set-up, 20 mins of random violence is always going to be violence-porn.

It's not 'The Hostel' is basically what I'm saying

Hostel.
There is no definitive article.
These things are important.

 

[Gingerman]

Though it was a great film,liked the fact there was no happy hollywood ending.

Oh yeah, you're quite right, I remember because at the time it came out I remember wondering if it was supposed to be a bit of a double meaning, because it also sounds like the way an American would say 'Hostile'.

Still more than a bit poo though.

The story the movie was loosely based on if anyone's interested...

It was not until the end of February 1994 that there was a breakthrough in the investigation. A 20-year-old woman stated to police that while backpacking in January 1990 in New South Wales she was offered a lift, which she had accepted. While in the vehicle the driver had behaved strangely, and she got out of the vehicle and ran into the Belangalo State Forest. As she ran, the driver fired shots at her, but missed. A second witness, British tourist Paul Onions, told police that in 1990 he accepted a lift from a driver in the same area, who then produced a gun from the glove compartment of the vehicle. As he ran, the driver fired shots at him. Onions was able to identify the driver from police photographs and identify the vehicle.

Whats crazy is that the british guy who had a gun pulled on him never went to the cops at the time..

It's actually inspired by 3 different cases, Millat being one, the Falconio murder the other and some other case I can't quite recall with two brothers who chopped up some travellers

I can't understand why eveyones saying it was really scary! maybe I have no scare threshold left

Erm, sorry to break it to you....

 

[Karac]

Probably one of the worst films ive ever seen-a total crock of shite

 

[Jambooboo]

Ach I enjoyed it, and didn't think it was bad in terms of 'nastyness'. Anyway I kinda like the blood n' guts/killer movies of the thriller/horror genre (Natural Born Killers, Hostel, Devils' Rejects etc of late).

Luckily the spunky male lead brought me back to my senses.

The one with the rifle or the one that got crucified?

You mean Teabag from Neighbours?

 

[i_hate_beckham]

I saw it at the pics , the men we went with were more scared than the women

Me and my brother were the only 2 in the cinema when we saw it.
