Takeshi-K 100 Bloody Acres was pretty bloody awful. The acting was good, but when the screenplay is this bad you really have to feel sorry for the actors for doing such a commendable job with such a weak script.Horribly unfunny.What little humor there was in this movie was of the situational variety, which works well in a TV sitcom if the jokes and acting back it up. In this film the acting was good, but thats it. There was nothing funny about it at all. It was a poor attempt to cash in on the success of Shaun of the Dead, without that movie's charm and charisma and .. most importantly .. actual humor.A couple of gross out moments tried to save it, but really? A masturbation scene and a maternal incest scene? What were they going for? Australian Pie? Just poor taste and unfunny. This movie sucked.
Gimly Monocle (firstruleofmethclub) This Aussie romp about inept murder-brothers (played by Angus Sampsonand Damon Herriman) exemplifies what a horror-comedy should be. The quips are laugh-out-loud worthy, the physical humour is never absurd or bad enough to take you out of the moment, the premise is original enough, the reference humour is played well and doesn't get in your face (which I truly appreciate, and makes for the much better laugh), it's just haphazard enough to feel roller-coaster-y without feeling disjointed, from a formulaic standpoint it stands heads and shoulders above most other films of the genre. Unfortunately, this is about all that 100 Bloody Acres can really say for itself. It's true there's virtually nothing bad about it, but nothing stands out about beyond this either. It's a solid film, a recommendable one even, but there's no real staying factor here, and I fear its value will slip with the passing of time, which is unfortunate for such a rare bit of perfectly-toeing-the-line horror/comedy. 68% -Gimly
Michael O'Keefe This Australian horror movie is directed and written by brothers Cameron and Colin Cairnes. Quirky, funny and bloody. Brothers Reg(Damon Herriman)and Lindsay(Angus Sampson)Brown own and operate an organic fertilizer company and are running a bit behind on orders due to the lack of their "special ingredient"...road kill. As Reg is running the roads in search of well, you know...three friends James, Sophie and Wesley encounter car trouble on their way to a much anticipated music festival. The agitated trio have no idea what is in store for them, when Reg rescues them with perverse intentions. It is not hard to convince Lindsay to fire up the grinder, when Reg arrives with fresh stock to complete the current run of fertilizer.Besides being funny, there are enough moments that will have you cringing, flinching and possibly gagging. Laughter and splatter in the right proportions makes for an enjoyable flick...no matter how sick of mind you are. How can the compost business get any more interesting? This horror film is a hoot! Rounding out the cast: Anna McGahan, Oliver Ackland, James Kristian, John Jarratt and Paul Blackwell.
ms-omen73 100 Bloody Acres a great example of Australian film making, written and directed by the Cairnes brothers, it marked their feature length debut. The Australians have a long history of great quirky films that tend to offer something a bit different and this one fits right into that history! Its the story of a pair of brothers,Reg and Lindsay, who have an entrepreneurial spirit and the willingness to go the extra mile to get it right. They have a small business in fertilization, with a secret recipe to make your veggies grow! They take road kill and grind it up to give you Blood and Bones fertilizer, the thing is sometimes the road kill is bigger than a "roo! Reg comes across an accident scene, checking it out he realizes the driver is dead and hatches a plan for success. Driving back to the family farm, and production facility he offers to help some unlucky travelers on their way to a music festival, who have run into a bit of car trouble. He picks up the trio, Sophie, James and Wes, The boys go back into the back of the truck where the body is hidden and sophie rides shotgun with Reg. They pair begin to chat it up, as the boys in back find trouble. Reg delivers the group back to the farm where we meet his brother Lindsay, who is not too happy with Regs lack of fore thought in this latest scheme. Reg is desperate for his brothers approval, so he soldiers on but it isn't long before he has second thoughts and thats where things get really interesting. Is there music and love in the future for our travelers or will they be spread between the rows like so much manure??100 Bloody Acres is a great film! Its engaging, humorous and wrong! It has everything you need for a good time some weird sex, infidelity, sibling rivalry, a bit of good gore, hilarious action scenes and more! The film is extremely well written, and has a heart that I didn't expect. It reminded me a bit of Black Sheep in the feel and tempo of the film, but was something very different in story. I definitely recommend this one, its not going to have you jumping out of your seat but it will probably make you double over in laughter, while still giving enough tension and gore to appease your horror appetite! I am hopefully the Cairnes brothers will be offering up more goodies for us in the near future!*HeatherOmen* TheHorrorNation.net
