The Clockwork Killings

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.

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.

I don't understand, I really don't understand, why an actress like Radha Mitchell allows herself to be cast in a completely insignificant and desperately stupid supporting role, where she is not given any space for even minimal acting performance. Unfortunately, this is not the only film in which Radha incomprehensibly does not even partially use her potential. To say something about the film itself, originality is not really its strong point. You'll discover the main villain long before the end, and you'll be able to focus more on the annoyingly illogical direction, script and editing. I'm not saying that the creators didn't try to do a professional job, but the effort is not enough when you can't decide whether you're shooting a comedy, crime or slasher.

How was this film made? Genuinely. This is easily one of the most atrociously written/acted/directed/edited films I've ever seen in my life. My first year film school films were Oscar worthy in comparison. We're all usually forgiving with horrors, but this is honestly so awful I was crying with laughter in my screening. Anyone who worked on this film should be really embarassed. But hey, least it's reassuring to know we can all write films if garbage like this can pass all the checks.

Whoever let this one pass the final inspection should be fired immediately, 90 minutes of my life wasted, it was so bad I had to write a review, in my 26 years of life I've never even considered reviewing a movie online but this one was so terrible I couldn't resist, if your considering watching this show please don't do it, the soundtrack to this makes me feel like I'm reliving the first jaws movie all over again and to make it even worse it took her 12 hours to get down the stairs? One minute it's midnight and she's running down to the kitchen to get a knife and the next it's midday and she's only just made it out the front door, I'm so disappointed that I've even taken the time to start a petition to get this removed from all viewing platforms, it should be banned! Makes me ashamed to be Australian.
