Storyline

Peter and Carla have a wasted marriage and constant friction. Peter buys expensive camping gear and, despite the protests of Carla, insists they travel with their dog Cricket to camp on the isolated Moondah Beach in the North Coast with his friend Luke and his girlfriend during the rainy holiday. Peter stops in a pub at the Eggleston Hotel and leaves a message for Luke with the owner of the pub. When Peter takes what he believes to be shortcut to the beach, he gets lost and the couple spends the night sleeping in their SUV. The next morning, Peter organizes the campsite and their intrusion into and abuse of the natural environment begins. During the two days, the couple's relationship deteriorates while the nature avenges the bad treatment the couple has inflicted upon it. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Scenery is the star
22 October 2010 | by See all my reviews

Well from the outset I knew the setting as it is one of my favorite places on Earth, however I cannot say that I feel the same way about this movie. It never gelled as the two leads tried valiantly to make the somewhat stilted script seem believable. The very fact that they supposedly spent ten thousand dollars on camping equipment is ludicrous, especially when you see their quite modest tent etc. The tension really did not build as well as it could have with better editing and use of sounds/music. The creature on the beach was a little too unreal and did not menace as one would hope in this genre. Sometimes what you do not see is scarier than when it is presented in full daylight. I guess my major criticism is that the director failed to really build on the implied sinister nature of the location. Then again maybe because I know it well from my youth that it was hard to believe what was going on. The beautiful Wilson's Prom really starred as it silently witnessed this disappointing thriller/horror.
