Now this was a nice
"Now this was a nice little Aussie thriller. Sam Neil was awesome as usual and it was fun seeing a young Emily Blunt. Really tension filled and Umbrella even gave us a few extras. Nice new discovery. Happy I brought this badboy."
— Bryan K. (5/5)
Strong cast in decent Australian thriller
"A well made thriller with the requisite twist and second twist ending. A great cast is the main draw. Strong performances throughout. And i always love a filming locations tour featurette. No idea why, but it's always been one of my favorite types of special feature. Big Horror's Hallowed Ground fan. Anywho. . . this is a pretty good movie. Not the standout on anyone's resume but solid. Was available on DVD so not as hard to find as most Umbrella releases."
— Ed K. (5/5)
I'm Always In For Susan Sarandon
"Great cast, high tension, thrill ride. Definitely worth the purchase, and you know it's going to be awesome if it's an Umbrella release. Glad to scoop a copy of this one."
— Jake B. (5/5)
Beautiful
"One might even say that it’s irresistible. An irresistibly good watch. That means you really can’t resist it."
— chris b. (5/5)
Good movie and edition
"Good movie a bit predictable, but entertaining."
— Emmanuel R. (5/5)
Excellent thriller
"Nice sleeper of a film. The set up is overly familiar. But it’s good to see Susan and Emily square off. Sam Neil is such a twit in it, must be seen to believe. Sarandon does well being paranoid and neurotic. While Blunt subdues her malice until the very end. I appreciate the slow burn."
— Maximillian G. (5/5)
