Ashburn Waters

Had a lot of fun with this Aussie indie flick. While super low budget, the Australian humour, the (mostly) likeable characters and few good jump scares got me. Worth a watch.

I often read reviews on imdb and it's strange how common it is for things to get either the unbelievably bad tag or the greatest movie ever. In truth virtually no movie is either.

So Ashburn Waters is evidently not made on a huge budget and honestly if I didn't know it's not much different to a lot of US films (This is Australian) on the same sort of topic.....teens go into the woods/a campsite and end up victims of a slasher/monster/demon etc etc.

The acting while not oscar winning is fine for the genre, I've definitely seen way worse. Similarly the script and direction is good. Naturally all the characters are stereotypes, Good girl, slutty girl, decent guy, drunk blah blah but that's pretty common for horror movies in general.

Definitely fails a bit on special effects but then that's a budget thing and not the fault of anyone involved.

In short this is a serviceable genre film no worse or no better than the norm. Go into it expecting Halloween and you'll be disaster but it's fine for a casual watch free on Amazon.

I don't know what this is supposed to be but it is truly awful right from the beginning to the end, the script is awful, the dialogue is awful and the acting is woeful, woeful like they dragged these people straight off the set of an ABC children's show and told them to act scared which none of them actually has the acting ability to do so particularly when there is ZERO chemistry between the actors, if it wasn't for the magnificent boob scenes this wouldn't be worth the time it takes to watch it and it's lucky for that girl she has those assets because her acting is terrible, as for the '' demon ", are they serious! I've seen better makeup and costumes at a kindergarten pantomime than this pathetic effort. Don't waste your time, this flick is absolutely pathetic.

Some typically Aussie chauvinistic characters from the get go. A really weak monster that isn't scary in the slightest, but a bonus point for being flagrantly Australian and for repping a Bodyjar shirt.

I like an Australian Film, and an Indie. So this was going to be good for me. Also I like pop corn horror flicks. But this one is pretty bad. Bad story and dialog. A bunch of teen actors and a few adults. Probably cost $1000 to make. The movie just gets worse and worse. A cheap nude girl scene to check that box. Then it just ends. I think they ran out of money or the park they used to film it in had to open to the public.

Family Friendly? Nude Woman (topless), smoking, drinking, some slasher style killing, bad language.
