Critic Reviews

  • Megan Lehmann, Hollywood Reporter

    First-time director Ringan Ledwidge conjures up an effectively creepy mood to accompany three young backpackers on an ill-fated road trip across the Aussie desert.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...suffers from an egregiously laid-back pace that ultimately negates its few positive attributes...

  • Urban Cinefile Critics, Urban Cinefile

    Debut feature for tv commercials director Ringan Ledwidge shows he has an innate sense of cinema, and handles the genre well and the outback looks gritty but great

  • Garth Franklin, Dark Horizons

    Solid direction and well shot visuals cannot overcome the inherent problems from the mixed performances, thin script, off-putting characterizations, and languished pacing

  • Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall

    In the end, the script lets the film down with its obvious twists, its naggingly illogical narrative and a general pointlessness.

  • Gordon A


    Very average psychological drama with no surprises but acceptable performances.

  • Steve B


    "In the tradition of WOLF CREEK" it says, but it's really more like THE HITCHER... if you took all the thrills from that movie and stuffed them into the last five minutes. Largely unimpressed by this one.

  • Luke B


    Your average run of the mill psycho psychological thriller. Although it follows all the regular plot patterns it does have some nice visuals of the vast dry landscapes of Australia. Mechlowicz also proves his worth by creating a chilled but eerie character despite a real motivation.… More

  • Chris M


    Reminded me of a softened version of <i>Wolf Creek</i>. As for <i>Gone</i>, it was a film I just couldn't get into it.
