LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

PeterMitchell-506-564364 A lot of hot air here, stupid and pointless like a few other ocker horrors I won't mention. A score of students in a country town, fall prey when mysteriously given this rock, a death stone. Starring a few young actors, one who's star shone much brighter than the others, this horror schlock low on violence and high on s..t for brains, wastes some other stars, some of them who teach at the high school, where the students are being picked off. As if there's really anything scary about watching a cubicle door shutting and opening on it's own accord, with repeated velocity. They should of just shut the book on this one. The identity of the possessed killer, which is a surprise, just augments this film's limited brain capacity. We have that long haired aboriginal fella we've seen in so many other films, who assists the kids who are left, in stopping their demise, with is sure to ensue. One girl (Zoe Carides who eats fruit and nut chocolate for breakfast), well her father had been behind a decision to redevelop over a sacred aboriginal burial ground, (almost a glimmer of reality here) so may'be it's revenge. Whatever it is, it can't compensate the fact that this is a turkey and a desperate attempt at horror. Though the movie's surrounds are interesting, the best thing about this potboiler.

Vomitron_G Every once in a while Australia produces a good straight-up horror-movie (not really considering many fine ozploitation genre-mixtures with this statement). RAZORBACK, a fine monster-movie for example. KADAICHA, however, isn't really one of those excellent horror gems. The teenage inhabitants of one particular street in a suburban area get in deadly trouble when the spirit of an ancient Aboriginal voodoo-priest wants revenge. Aparantly the houses in that street were build on an Aboriginal burial ground (what else did you expect?). The spirit of the voodoo-priest manifests itself through animals. This flick is amusing at times and gets a little boring and pretty bad at others. A 'didgeridoo' seems to be a horrifying instrument, because it can be heard on the soundtrack every time something supposedly scary is about to happen. I'll give KADAICHA some extra points because it tries hard, and the death-by-spider scene was amusing. But you'll have to be in the mood for it when you watch this stuff, otherwise you might dismiss it as nonsensical crap.

Tikkin Plot: Residents living on land built on an ancient burial ground die after finding strange stones. Kadaicha started off looking very promising but as time went on, didn't seem to go anywhere at all. It started to meander too much and take too long to reach the conclusion. The acting was very good for this type of movie (compared to most low budget horror flicks), but the deaths weren't very gory and the ending was rather dull.Overall I feel this film could have been much more interesting as the storyline itself was quite good. Sadly it's just too boring - I wouldn't recommend seeking this out unless you're a collector.4/10

kill__machine I saw this film once late at night when it was played on television. It really isn't at all good, and I don't recommend it, but for me it was one of those films with a really strange feel about it. I can't remember too much of the film because I saw it so long ago but it had a strange feel about it which I enjoyed.All I can remember of the plot is that if you find this Aboriginal stone on your pillow when you wake up, you are cursed and will die. Now, I think the reason for this is that these people live in an area over sacred Aboriginal ground, and the Aborigines have cursed the people who live there. Totally absurd I know, but there are a few gruesome deaths, one nasty one with a spider.If you can find it, have a look, but its not that great. A silly look at Aboriginality, because I don't think Aborigines would be that way inclined.
