An Australian urban legend comes screaming on the Ozploitation scene. It’s said that if you drive down the creepy road of Lemon Tree Passage, and witness a sudden flash of light in the trees, you'll be forever haunted by the tormented spirit of a man killed by thrill speeding teenagers. Wanting to put this old wives’ tale to the test, a car-load of non-believers take the supposedly cursed journey and do indeed see a strange manifestation. But it’s not the one of popular myth - this sudden possession of one of their number involves another altogether more shocking crime. That of a young girl raped and murdered on the same stretch of highway. As one urban legend trumps another, the scared passengers must sort out the facts of both cases before vengeful justice from beyond the grave can be meted out with moody atmosphere, ghostly thrills and supernatural suspense.

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
fredschepers OK, I agree. They should have gone for the urban legend story. It was all a bit predictable. Never the less the acting actually made it worth watching it. The scenery was fine, but the story itself was a bit confusing. I usually don't spoil, but in this case I put some questions/notes down that might be a tiny bit spoiling. Its just that I hope the director of this film will take in account what ordinary film lovers think.I didn't get the legend to murdered woman line. I think the legend was not needed. Gave it a weird twist that didn't fit. Its a revenge film. So why were the teens killed that had nothing to do with it. I did get the possession part, but killing the girl and her brother didn't make any sense. I think if a ghost goes ballistic, they all should die. But that's me. The part in the middle where the woman was raped (was she actually raped?) was chaotic with a bit too much unrecognizable and blurry scenes. It didn't clear anything up and only the producer and actors probably knew what was going on, because they had the script. I didn't. So I had no clue what was going on.Anyway, end good all good. Not the kind of film I would watch again. As I said, the acting was above average with a couple of nice scenes that could have been different so the logic would kick in.I gave it a 5. It wasn't horrifically scary, but the acting was fine and the scenery was good. I've seen worse.Please learn from it.
Claudio Carvalho The American Maya (Jessica Tovey), Amelia (Pippa Black) and her brother Toby (Tim Pocock) are spending vacation in Australia. The meet the locals Geordie (Tim Phillipps) and Oscar (Andrew Ryan) on the beach and Oscar tells a ghost story at the campfire. He tells that a ghost of a motorcyclist appears at the Lemon Tree Passage intersection when a car with teenagers speeds up at the spot. They decide to go to the location to see the ghost with tragic consequences."Lemon Tree Passage" is a horror movie with a story that is a senseless mess. It is impossible to understand the plot that begins with the ghost of a married motorcyclist and ends with the fiend of a raped girl that was murdered. Is Sam the older brother of Geordie? Why the evil ghost seeks revenge against the teenagers and not only against Sam? Why Maya is connected and possessed by the evil spirit? There are so many questions to be made that better off not waste time watching this flick. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "A Lenda Negra" ("The Black Legend")
mirb72 I was excited to catch the Australian's urban legend on film. But I was truly disappointed 1/3 through the movie. I've read many versions of the Lemon Tree Passage legend and I'm asking myself, how is that a movie using the title Lemon Tree Passage but plots nothing relevant about the tales. You don't just create an urban legend. You go by it. You tell the tales as it is. Not using it as a title but end up showing nothing relevant. I hope someone will direct and produce something along the line of the urban tales of Lemon Tree Passage. Something which is relevant to LEMON TREE PASSAGE! Do some research before making a movie. Have some respect. Even if it's just another urban legend.
a_baron American youngsters travelling the world, possibly on their a gap year, meet up with locals Down Under, a bit of romance, maybe, and a ghost tale? Drive down a certain road late at night, and you will see a mysterious light behind you. For real? Yup. Whacko, let's do it again! Not a good idea. In fact not a good anything, because that is as good as it gets. Sure, there is horror herein, a body appears and disappears, one of the girls sees a ghost neither of her companions can see, and is lured into a lake. After apparently spending minutes underwater she is brought to the surface conscious but none the worse for it, although maybe possessed by the spirit of a murder victim, which appears to be the reason they are out here in the woods.The trouble is the whole thing is so confusing; there is even terrestrial menace afoot, but what is the viewer to make of it? Added to this, most of the action takes place in the dark, which is where you will probably end up if you sit right through this one.
