Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Siloty hired this movie with a bunch of mates when having an all night movie night and the cover looked like a zombie movie whereas the blurb on the back didn't indicate it. so we were like what the heck and hired it.we found this movie quite boring and one of my mates joked about what the ending was and he happened to actually be right.i don't know if the movie was supposed to be scary or what, but basically we all found it boring. save the hour and a half of your life and don't watch this movie.the acting was cardboard, very unconvincing. laughable really.the idea was the only pick up of the movie, but not enough to give it a two star rating, it could've been done better i suppose.

anjali85 "The Locals" is one of the best movies from New Zealand that I have ever seen. A brilliant director and writer: Greg Page, and excellent new actors: Dwayne Cameron and John Barker. It's not like other horror films that I have seen and I've seen loads. The unusual location and the fact that it's playing in the dark is great. All the hide and seek in this film makes you wanna run with the characters. And Peter McCauley is so scary and untouchable. Why are the no more other movie from Greg Page he's funny. The commentary on the DVD is the best ever. Greg Page wants you to make listen him over and over again. First time I saw "The Locals" was a surprise for me and I'm sure for everyone who watched it. I like the idea of a farmer who has captured all inhabitants of the little town and only let them go when his bones left the area. BEST MOVIE EVER!

moviematt71 Nice little Horror/Thriller from New Zealand that's a cross between the underrated "Dead And Buried" and "The Sixth Sense." It's a lot of fun with a twist ending. This is not standard fare like many other films that are set up from this kind of premise or if you read over the movie description. It really delivers in places despite a modest and small budget. Barker & Cameron play a likable pair of friends that go out to find a party and get more than they bargained for when they run into a pair of pretty gals. The friendship that they have shows throughout the film and you really root for them. The DVD has a VERY entertaining commentary by director/writer Greg Page. He is a riot. A nice surprise that's not perfect but an independent horror film shouldn't be. However, it's a rental that I'm glad I took a chance on. Check it out.

andreas_l Scary movies, usually have a low budget. This one must have been one of these. The Film team or the director must have thought the wrong way, Because when its dark, it is dark, and not lighten up like every single object was. There is a scene when its totally dark outside, both the two girls and boys move inside a house. Inside you see this window blending your eyes ,because its so lighten up, Like this scene was shot during the day, when it should have been shot at night.The story was however OK. But the movie got totally ruined because of useless filming./ Andreas.
