Title: The Horseman (2008)
Post by: shiznitz on January 11, 2011, 06:11:23 AM
This is an indie Aussie revenge flick currently offered for streaming on Netflix.  It is quite bloody and jumps around chronologically so that it doesn't bog down.  Kind of a low budget 8MM.

Are you telling me I should watch it?  I'm not sure.

Watched this a few weeks ago.  Pretty good flick, worth a watch.

Yes, with the qualifier that I have no idea what you like.  I could have been clearer, I guess, but I don't see the point of posting about a random movie that I though sucked.

Good point!

I can imagine a scenario where a movie was so bad that you felt the need to warn people away (clearly not the case here).

How big is the Australian film industry?  I can only remember having seen two movies that I knew were Aussie productions before, they were both of the 'so bad that it's great' cable TV variety.

Small. We all go to see US films instead. And now that the exchange rate makes us just as expensive as the US to film it, a lot of people have had to move industries or shift countries.

... that said, Australia does produce some awful films and the odd gem.
