DoctorSkyTower Possible Spoilers??? I hope NOT!!!This was a really kewl movie! I went in not expecting much, but was very impressed with the rather funny story line involving 5 students who discover loads of dope growing in the basement of a repulsive old house they shack up in, and then proceed to sell the whole lot.I recommend this movie to all those who just love watching NZ homegrown movies about struggling university students living in Dunedin (it looked miserably cold)... One thing which struck me was with that miserable weather, how could they live in that miserably cold house??? However, it was very well portrayed. Check out the bathroom scenes!!!I especially loved the way they head off to the rugby game yelling out "Aucklanders are W**kers!" and all the Aucklanders in the movie audience groaned out loud. Memorable Scenes: when the dope growing Crim has to go for a crap, trips up the young fella and wipes his a** on him. DIS-gusting, but funny!!! I rate this movie 7 out of 10

Dom-37 This film is another fine example of what New Zealand filmmakers can do when they hold the audiences' enjoyment above their own artistic w**k-ness.The Sarkies Brothers have created an extremely (un)pleasant film that isn't really about University life at all, but about those staple cinematic conventions -paranoia, murder and er, flatting.I strongly urge any one not from New Zealand to check out this little gem. God knows when it'll get released anywhere else though. I hope it gets onto screens in the U.S.One quibble however, three times in the film, characters describe each other as 'jerks'. Honestly, who in New Zealand uses that word with a straight face? It's such a sitcom-ism. 'Dick' would have been much more suitable in my eyes.

leeman-3 Well, what can I say. I went to the preview hoping to see a good New Zealand film, some dark comedy and thrilling moments. Scarfies has certainly done it for me.There is no better place to set a film about students than in the "s***hole" that was chosen. The house has a character of its own, definitely lending itself to the dark images created by the Sarkies brothers. The lines and images are stereotypical, but then, are so not, and they work I tell you.Many a time I found myself having a great laugh - along with the rest of the audience, the s**t scene, the 'conquest', all just added to my enjoyment. The darkness, and hilarity? of this made the film all the more special.Scarfies is a must for New Zealand film of the year, and I'm sure it will go on to bigger and better things over the bright blue ocean. If you see any film this year, see this one, it has it all, so just do it.

Olhado Filed in "Tropical Dunedin" on New Zealand's South Island.A bunch of hapless students get themselves into the mire when they appropriate a crop of "weed".We were part of the "test audience" on a warm summer evening here in Wellington. Although the film was still in post production, it showed some brilliance in parts. Well worth a look.
