ladymidath I watched There's Something In The Pillaga on Prime Video which actually does have some great horror movies. Being curious I watched in and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This film is a found footage one and even though that genre is kind of being done to death, this was a better attempt than most these days. The story involves Jay (Brendan Byrne) and his mate and cameraman Dylan (Paul Denham) as they travel around with Jay's dog. They both pick up a couple of intoxicated girls and then things take a turn for the worse. Filled with tension and quite a few good scares this film does not hesitate but jumps right in. All the actors in this do an excellent job and the they filmmakers are careful to keep the jump scare to a minimum. All up, this is a welcome addition to Aussie films but if I had one complaint, it would be that it went just a tad too long. Instead of finishing it on a really terrifying note, the filmmaker kept it going and to me, it started losing suspense. But that is just a small complaint considering the film's overall fine acting and camera work. I would definitely watch it again.

Leofwine_draca THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE PILLIGA is an indie comedy/horror flick from Australia which has a little of the trademark Aussie charm and humour to get by. It's a found footage-style effort that features a number of dumb characters who come into contact with a Yowie, an Australian-style Bigfoot creature of legend. This can just about be classed as an 'Ozploitation' movie, although as with many indies it's very rough around the edges and slow at times. The fact that the monster is never seen is a bit of a disappointment, but perhaps for the best. Expect a lot of character interaction, jokes, arguments, titillation, and the usual genre tropes.

Josh aswsad Another handy cam film like Blair Witch and The Tunnel. Movie drags on for 80 minutes and nothing really happens. Just driving around for most of the movie. Terribly written with boring dialogue which is saved by the decent acting of the leads. It is Nicely shot showing the Outback of Australia i give it that, but the over using the camera in the car when it wasn't really needed made me dislike this film more. I don't think this movie had any real story line just a lot of bogon talking and terrible directing and edited like a student film. 60 minutes of nothing with 20 minutes of something. Im amazed this movie was made for $84,000 or even funded at all.

pcarlson-06837 I'm usually not a big fan of the "lost camera" or "found footage" movies so I was a little hesitant with this movie to start with.From the very start this movie grabs you. The main character "Jay" is a very relatable character. If you have ever been to small country towns in Australia, this is truly how they talk and act. With a very typical big 4WD ute and 3 days growth. The first half of the film does a very good job of building character.The movie builds well up to the point where things start to get "hairy". The movie has trouble keeping pace and I found there was a bit too much pointing at the ground but I guess if you're scared you're not worried about camera work.As a whole I really enjoyed the movie and would have no problem recommending it to friends or family. If you grew up around Boggabri, Gunnedah or Coona this is a MUST see!! Big thumbs up to Dane on a great Aussie flick!!
