Saw this at Monsterfest, nice locations and good for a low budget Aussie laugh. Definitely won't be some peoples piece of cake but the filmmakers did a good job. The social aspects were a bit on the nose at times but overall good.

It is like they tried to imitate a Simon Pegg movie. Just sad. It always borders on anti male.
Acting wasn't bad, certainly not a low budget movie. Just a silly and unbelievable story that isn't funny.

You know you're in trouble when you see a movie at your local cinema on opening weekend and you're the only patron in the theatre.
This movie does try it's best being a horror/comedy but it fails (and I LOVE those types of movies). The ideas are there but the acting is that hammy and the film reminded me of Welcome To Woop Woop (where the film tried so hard to be offensive to be funny).
There were a few good laughs but that acting was dreadful I sort of felt ripped off paying $14 to see it.

Removing your eyes and ears with a blunt tool yields more pleasure. A film that butchers, dissects, dismembers and cannibalises the soul of satire and feeds it to the pigs with as little humour as possible.
I've been watching horror movies recently for Halloween, which is how I managed to view this atrocity. Terrible acting, juvenile script , heavy handed woke agenda and not very funny for something touted as a horror comedy.

In the tradition of Peter Jackson's Brain Dead and Meet the Feebles comes this aussie charmer. Expect lots of gore in the second half, and over the top performances with broad humour. Grab a few 4X beers and grubs and have a good night in. The first 15 minutes is a little refrained, but it picks up after that.
Cheap cheesy and stupid don't waste your time..That is all folks :)

Than gedai to this lot. but as a comedy it works at times, the gore comes very precautiously served just to make a bigger crowd of an audience, because horrorscary it aint. the story and plot are copycatting thousands of other features, the most original though must be the aussie way of linguistication, and its peculiar way to perform a castration.
the rest is at the median, its a movie for the age of 7 and up, i guess the young ones will love this , cause im far too grumpy and old . so let it be a small recommend even though i had a few laughs in the start

TWO HEADS CREEK (2019) is a truly lamentable British/Australian comedy horror about a couple of grown-up twins who leave their humdrum life in Britain to find their long-lost mother. Their search takes them to a rural township filled with quirky inhabitants, and before long they've uncovered their dark secret: cannibalism! Another 'FrightFest presents' release and this is a pitiful attempt at a black comedy, complete with awful reams of dialogue, painfully unfunny overacting, and characters that just don't belong on the screen. The first half is tedious in the extreme and the second half ridiculous, piling on the gore and carnage without any attempt at realism or the basic film building blocks of suspense, tension and the like. Even that Robert Englund movie 2001 MANIACS looks like a masterclass in filmmaking by comparison.

The opening credits indicate that mayhem will ensue.
A British butcher and his sister find out that their Polish- born mother actually adopted them when they were young. They go to Australia to meet their birth-mother. When they arrive at her village, the story really begins...
Everything is played 100% for laughs, so I wouldn't even call it a "horror-comedy", like the "Evil Dead" series. But it has dark themes involving immigration and there are nods to "Psycho." The Australian and Polish stereotypes are more likely to offend people than the carnage.
I've never seen any of these actors before, but their performances are all superb. And there is even a musical interlude. Watch the mid-credits scene at the end. 8/10

Dont waste your time, drunk or high its still absolutely garbage. And no, not the fun type of garbage! Complete waste of time with my 2 score only going for some decent gore effects at times.

Two Heads Creek is a witty, hilarious take on Ocker culture and Australia's immigration policy that employs an outsider's point of view (courtesy of Jordan Waller's intelligently observed screenplay) to show us ourselves as we would perhaps rather not be seen. The second feature for director Jesse O'Brien and director of photography Samuel Baulch after 2016's arty science fiction epic Arrowhead, it ramps up to an even higher standard of film craft and further confirms that these two film makers are a team to watch.
Jordan Waller and Kathryn Wilder give sparkling performances in the lead roles as twins who travel to outback Queensland to reconnect with their long lost birth mother (played with a wicked turn by Kerrie Armstrong). They discover that the town has developed a taste for human flesh and are involved in a conspiracy with the Department of Immigration to supply them with a food chain of migrants. 'Don't stop the boats! Send em here so we can eat their brains!' In league with their long lost mum and sister Daisy (played with a touchingly wide-eyed innocence by Madelaine Nunn) they team up to overthrow the system in a gloriously bloodthirsty final act. In addition to those already mentioned there's a top notch ensemble cast including such Aussie luminaries as Gary Sweet, Helen Dallimore, and Kevin Harrington to add to the mayhem. Gregory J Fryer as Indigenous bus driver Apari provides the much needed perspective that all of us white fellas, recent migrants or not, are 'bloody foreigners.' Special mention also to Stephen Hunter as immigration officer, Clive, David Adlam as twisted tank top wearing Eric and the legendary Don Bridges as pommy hater Uncle Morris.
The soundtrack is studded with Aussie rock classics with a heavy dose of early 60s Normie Rowe. The musical centrepiece is an hilarious hard rock arrangement of Skyhooks' Horror Movie courtesy of composer Ryan Elliot Stevens that showcases Helen Dallimore's vocal chops and provides the setting for the climactic battle sequence with a cornucopia of hilarious dismemberments so OTT that they evoke more laughs than horror.
The whip smart writing and comedic timing make Two Heads Creek an hilarious crowd pleaser. Certainly the audience at the Monsterfest premiere responded with great enthusiasm to the laughs, the gore and the incisive social commentary. Destined for an initially limited general release, if it comes to a screen near you, please get out to see what could well become an Aussie comedy classic. You won't be disappointed.

Two Heads Creek was an entertaining flick that touched on sensitive Australian cultural topics, but certainly nailed the humour of it. Many of the references throughout the film are about as Aussie as they come. There are plenty of local acting veterans (as well as some talented internationals) amongst the cast who contribute to a quality viewing experience. Definitely grab tickets if well-executed left-field Aussie comedy is your can of XXXX.

Great Funny Australian Movie worth the watch, seen at the Special Filming at location of where it was filmed at Cracow, would recommend to anyone that doesnt mind a little bit of a laugh.
Watched this because I'm a fan of Victoria and I fund it really really funny!!!! A little more blood and gore than I'm used to, but it was really great to see at Halloween.

"Two Heads Creek" offers a fresh take on the outback horror-comedy genre with a standout performance by Kent Lee as Kong Dang. Kent Lee skillfully navigates the role, bringing authenticity and depth to the screen. Kent Lee's ability to seamlessly shift between the comedic and more serious moments adds layers to Kong Dang, making him a character that stands out in the narrative. Special mention also goes to Midori Silling who also plays another immigrate, her comedic presence is worth noting! If I am not mistaken I do recall seeing them in another horror film called Malice: Nu Gui. ;)
In all seriousness though 'Two Heads Creek' Its just a GOOD fun entertaining film all round. It looks as though it would have been a fun production to be involved in. Great work to the production team!
