Wissenswertes
This movie is not somehow based on Stanley Kubrick's film 'The Shining' (1980) which was based on the Stephen King novel despite some of the film's similarities.

The only scenes actually filmed at Savages Crossing are the scenes with the bridge in them.

Savages Crossing: Lacklustre

Australian cinema has always been highly hit and miss with me but I have to say recent efforts including Wyrmwood (2014) have shown that there is a lot of potential there.

Written by and starring John Jarratt, the man you'll all know better as Mick the psycho from the Wolf Creek franchise this is an attempt at a thriller but lacks imagination and an ending.

It tells the story of a group of people seeking refuge in a roadhouse during a storm. But one of them causes chaos and puts everyones lives at risk.

Another review refers to this as a "Micro-Budget" movie which suggests to me that person has no idea what micro-budget actually involves. Sure it's no AAA blockbuster but it has enough money behind it to look and sound the part and also has Craig McLachlan who folks will know from both Neighbours & Home and Away.

The film certainly has it's moments despite it's glaring flaws but sadly as mentioned lacks an ending. The credits just suddenly roll without everything being wrapped up and that is unforgivable.

At present time I believe the IMDB rating to be too low for a film of this caliber, but not by much.

Great for fans of Australian cinema, not so much for everyone else.

The Good:

Competently made

John Jarratt

The Bad:

Too few likeable characters

Rather predictible

No ending

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

The "No ending" thing better not catch on!

If you want to convince people you're a police officer it's best to show off your standard issue sawn off shotgun
