The Clockwork Killings

Awful. Simply awful. Didn't make sense. Tried to be off-beat funny with a clunky script. The soundtrack should be used in film school exemplifying what not to do. I ready don't want to bag a film made in my own country's industry .... but no one else should lose 90 minutes of time you'll never retrieve!!

Soooo bad it's not even bad enough to be good!

Horror is always a bit hit and miss and sometimes a miss aint a bad thing as 'just because it's bad' doesn't mean it's not enjoyable.

This was just utter cheese - terrible everything, plot, acting, screenplay, all of it. Come in Aussie films!! You can do better then that, we'd come so far and now this?

Anyone involved in this film should be ashamed of themselves.....complete amateurish garbage.

The best part was when it finished.

In a word - bad. I won't dedicate much time to reviewing a project this bad. Radha Mitchell has made some great films, but she is only a supporting role here. The lead actress is good, but you can only do so much with a terrible script. The villain is a terrible actor, but not as terrible as whoever was in charge of the post-production. The sometimes inappropriate and always overbearing mood music will drive most viewers crazy. Altogether, this isn't just bad - it's multi-dimensionally bad. I removed it from my collection.

I have no words to describe what just happened! 90 minutes wasted! This movie is so so so so bad! I am trying to think of a way to provide constructive feedback but I just can't! It is just really, really, I mean reeeeeally bad!

I definitely recommend you watching the other movie you were indecisive on! Go back to the home page and choose a different movie! I wish I had done just that!

Oh, and the scene she grabs a knife and it's dark and then runs to the house next door, it is literally next door (it would've taken her 2 minutes tops) and, all of a sudden, is daylight. I mean, WHAT?! Why?! How do people get away with this?

I would love to know how much money was spent on it! It is just a waste! Waste of money and waste of people's time!

Ahhhh, rant is over! I feel better now! Oh no, wait.... This movie is really BAD! .... Now I'm done!

I don't even want to waste a review on it, it's that bad, but I suppose I have to write at least 600 chracters here for me to be allowed to post the review. Honestly, I'm writing this so no one else will have to waste an hour and a half of their lives on this movie. It feels like a C grade murder flick from the 70s (though that era also gave us some excellent films). The plot is silly and has no logic, the situations are contrived, the performances are mediocre. The makeup and gore are a bit laughable, and the characters are halfbaked. Hard to believe such bad films are still being made in 2022.
