Since I was reall positively surprised by 'Rogue', I was really eager to see Greg Mclean's directing dรฉbut. However, even though this movie seems to have a decent reputation, I thought the whole thing turned out to be rather disappointing. Basically, since there were only 3 characters, I knew pretty much from the beginning that it would take a while before anyone got killed but it didnt really bother me. In fact, I did like the beginning with some naturalistic directing and acting, including some improvisations by the actors. Indeed, it was an interesting and refreshing approach. However, the second half, when the sh*t really hits the fan, was nothing really mind-blowing.ย I mean, sure, it was technically rather well done but it wasnt really scary and it was nothing I haven't seen 100 times before. Another detail that bothered me was that they made a big deal about the fact that it was a true story but, in fact, the only thing that really happened was that, on a regular basis, some people is disappearing in the outback. Indeed, the characters, the circumstances, even what they tell you at the end, everything was entirely fictional. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was nothing original or mind-blowing,ย I have to admit that it was still a rather well made horror flick and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
