Wissenswertes
The decision to have rainy weather in the early driving scenes was an effort to hide the fact that the interior scenes in Peter's jeep were filmed inside a darkened garage. During the shooting grips would run past carrying flashlights to make it appear like they were lights from passing cars.

Patzer
The films is set on mainland Australia, however a wild Tasmanian devil is depicted, which at the time of filming were only located on the island of Tasmania.

Zitate
Marcia: Love, I wasn't kidding. Let's get out of here.
Peter: Ah, come on...
Marcia: I don't like it.
Peter: It's a little bit of mould on the chicken!
Marcia: I'm not talking about a fucking chook!

Crazy Credits
Spoiler: The closing credits appear over a shot of the wilderness vegetation growing around the harpoon impaling Marcia.

Alternative Versionen
Spoiler: The UK Region 2 DVD, released in 2006, is slightly cut with one known cut when Peter (John Hargreaves) is hit by the truck at the very end. Some of the actual head collision is removed and after the end credits have rolled, some of the sound on black screen has been faded swiftly out.

6/10

part soap opera, part horror film

"Long Weekend" is a well-done, environmentally-conscious horror film from Down Under. The plot is rather simple, but makes a point: when you snooty urban dwellers go camping for the weekend, don't do anything to p**s off Mother Nature! Which is exactly what our two selfish, unappealing protagonists do; they also have a marriage that's on the rocks (gee, I wonder if they'll make it through the weekend alive? Any takers?). The acting is good (though the characters are hateful and stupid), and the emotional intensity is complemented by a very brooding atmosphere of impending horror (the night scenes will give you the willies) as Nature gears up for revenge.
