Critic Reviews

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
I had no sympathy for the charcters. They are, at their core, wretched people who deserve to have their relationship fall apart.

30 years on and we have a remake of the little known, but very weird film Long Weekend (1978). I saw the original when I was very young and at the end you just think WTF?! This is almost by the numbers remake, so I knew what was gong to happen, which effected my overall opinion. I remember the first being a lot more tense, scary and jumpy. This just didn't have the same impact. Check out the 78 version of you want some real creepy thrills!

This movie is camping 101 and spending time with a person you really can't stand. That's what I don't understand why does someone stay with someone who is no longer fun and just doesn't have the same interest. The film is about a couple who travel in to the Australian wilderness to camp, a couple who has never camped before and is used to the good life, ahh now their a good idea, not getting along all weekend plus some minor animal attacks lead to insanity. 1 Star on this one, reminds me to much on many times in my past life,

Never saw the original so i went in to this with being judgemental.Its a slow moving story and the two leads have a tough job to carry the whole movie but they do and both are interesting to watch.Not much in the way of gore but you do get a bucket load at the very end and is worth the wait. Not the best movie in the world but is worth a check.

Two people, who should never have attempted a camping trip, end up in a man vs. nature scenerio. Man violates nature, and nature fights back. The good thing about this movie, lies in its subtlety as far as nature getting its revenge upon people who abuse it. You never really see,… More
Two people, who should never have attempted a camping trip, end up in a man vs. nature scenerio. Man violates nature, and nature fights back. The good thing about this movie, lies in its subtlety as far as nature getting its revenge upon people who abuse it. You never really see, other than a few birds attacking, the animals actually doing anything, but you know. The only downside of that, is that it leaves you with unanswered questions. The movie was made with just a couple and their dog. The couple was so unlikeable and boorish, that you didn't really care what happens to them. The only one I was rooting for was the dog.
