Wrath

Australian horror, also known as "Outback", about a gang of four friends traveling south to the coast through the remote Boanyoo Ranges they encounter a stranger. Stopping to help they soon feel like they are in a cat-and-mouse game with a stranger.

Yeah, it's one of those films. It's not the easiest genre to please a viewer, but it shouldn't be that difficult either to make something worthwhile. The film manges to make the right vibe, of roadtrip going all wrong. The film starts the way these films do, and this one doesn't start any worse than others. Creepy and good. Then the gang starts acting so silly that it ruins the whole film. In a horror film it's OK that one person is doing an irrational and stupid thing, but four persons traveling together? No,that's not possible, not even in with city slickers outback country.

This is one of those film where they don't run when they see a person starting to point a shotgun at them, but waits until they are shot in the leg, and where they run towards the shooter instead of away from. And where you can see there's no one in a car when it crashes. It's awfully annoying.

Effects are good, and so are the production values, music, sound, and photography is excellent, and the acting is OK until that also stumbles for a couple. The script and the instruction is what are failing here.

In the end we start thinking irrational ourselves, and I was thinking it's such a pity spoiling those light colored seats in the classic Volvo with all that blood.
