Synopsis

Anja and five friends join anthroplogy student, Dace, on a journey to study a remote, ancient rock painting. Their excitement vanishes when Mel becomes delirious after skinny-dipping in the waterhole. Feverish, bleeding, confused, she physically and mentally regresses to a vicious predatory state. Mel has gone primal. Mel’s lover and friends realise they are the prey as she savagely hunts them down. Before they can escape another one of them starts to regress, posing a hideous choice; kill their friends or be killed by them. Their only hope of survival is through a cave, where Anja learns too late the meaning of the ancient rock art they came to study.

Alexander666DeLarge This Australian movie "oozes" low budget. From the remote campsite setting, to the six bland friends (3 boys, 3 girls) and the bad acting. But with these tropes in the movie, there can still be the factor that it is enjoyable. Unfortunately I did not enjoy this movie. It starts off with a prologue of a Caveman making cave drawings. He is attacked by some sort of deformed human with long sharp teeth (actually if you played the Mortal Kombat games, its Baraka, the creature looks like an updated Baraka). Some years pass, and we find ourselves in present day Australia, or at least somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Six happy friends led by anthropology student and Alpha Male named, Dace, the group sets out in to the wilderness to look for some cave drawings. Once they are in the cave, one of them, Anja, cuts her arm and her blood drips into the moist surface of the cave. After that we see some parts of the nature react, something bad is rising… The group sets up camp and because this is a low budget horror movie, there needs to be skinny-dipping. Once the blond girl of the group, Mel, goes into the water, she wants to lure her boyfriend Chad in, but he's afraid of water or something, it doesn't get quite clear why he doesn't want to go in. But luckily for him, after Mel comes out she's covered with leeches. After Alpha Male Dace used salt to get them off, Mel goes to sleep, just to wake up in the middle of the night with a fever. The group wants to take her to the hospital, but the car tires are being eaten by… killer ants. So they plan to go on foot, but sweet Mel finally turns in to a female Baraka and start to attack everyone. From that point on the movie goes around in circles. The same thing happens over and over again. The group guards the camp, Mel kills one of them, they fight her off, and repeat. A movie like this can be a lot of fun if the humor was funny, which is not, even the unintentionally bad acting doesn't make up for it. The gory effects are OK, but not much present. The only recommendation I can give this movie is if you want to see a Kangaroo get attack by a turned human, than you're in luck, this movie has that. Not to give the ending away, but it had some really bad effects, and made everything more unclear.But in the end, all the clichés, bad acting, the repetitive nature of it all, it saddens me to say that it doesn't make for a good horror movie. Although I hope that the director keeps making movies, hopefully the next time will be better.+ It has a killer rabbit+ Decomposing Kangaroo-Bad Acting-Repetitive story-Not enough gore
Michael 'Hallows Eve' Smillie This movie started off okay, a group of people going on a camping trip when it all turns bad. Now I know it is the usual story behind most horror movies, and I wasn't expecting too much from it, and I'm glad I didn't. It went down hill in a bit of a hurry from there. It was full of the usual cliché's, the group turn on each other, one of them becomes a killer, then they all end up in some kind of trouble one way or another. It wasn't ground breaking, and compared to a lot of other Aussie horror movies I've seen, this one would have to be at the lower end of the scale, but no where near as bad as another Aussie horror movie called 'PREY' (2009) which stars Natalie Bassingthwaighte (keep away from it if you can, it's rubbish). The story was average, the acting not much better, and the CGI near the end was below average (ruined the movie for me). But the kill scenes kind of saved a couple of points for me, so I give it a 4 out of 10.
Mrssmiff Australian horror film about a group of friends out in the wilderness to look at some ancient rock drawings. One becomes infected with a strange type of virus which turns her into a man-eating wild woman with super-strength and the rest of the group have to deal with fending her off whilst dealing with the possibility the rest of the group may suffer the same fate.For me, I rather enjoyed the film. Characters were interesting, dialogue good etc, but the CGI effects at the end of the film ruined it for me as they were not very well done and just made the whole thing rather unbelievable. I'm not a huge fan of CGI anyway, but when it's done badly it makes it worse.
JoeB131 Yup, because we haven't seen that like a million times since "Night of the Living Dead"! Six Australian students go to a lost cave where there are some cave paintings painted by some guy just before he got killed by a fellow caveman. And apparently, there is something in the water that mutates people into savage killing things that are serving some kind of host creature in the cave that apparently doesn't mind waiting a few thousand years for a host or something.So we watch as characters are either turned or killed by the ones who were, as we get over the top scenes using the less than prime cuts from a butcher's shop somewhere.I give the movie a bit of credit for the uninfected characters arguing over who is going to kill the infected ones or if they should kill them. But the whole scenario is so contrived it was laughable- like insects that eat through tire rubber on an SUV. Really? Wow, that was convenient.I think there was supposed to be some kind of sub-plot with the cave painting, but not really. They didn't go with it or they lost it in editing.
