Sweet River

I don't understand all the negative reviews. It's not the best movie I've ever seen but I've seen a lot worse. The acting was quite good I thought for a lot of less known actors. It kept me guessing all the way through and the finish pieces it all together.

Darn it. For the first half, this felt like it was building up to be a genuinely creepy horror-mystery, of which there are too few from Australia. Tension never really gets past the first notch, however, and midway through the second half, the vibe is that of a premise that hadn't fully been thought through by the writers, resulting in a flat conclusion that was no more than a less-than-subtle metaphor for grief. What then was the point of the supernatural elements? Nice cinematography, acting is more than commendable with believable characterisations by all involved, but overall this is just a time filler.

A decent-enough film, that you can pass a few hours with.

If you're looking for a non-stop, rollercoaster of a horror movie...this ain't it!

It's a very slow burner, with probably the worst group of child actors you'll see this year. Everything else though, is great!

The movie follows a great idea, and could have been great for Australian cinema, however poor scripting and editing leaves the viewer totally baffled at times as to what is going on and how each scene adds to the story attempting to be told.

Slow, boring film with no horror, scares, suspense or thrills. A mysterious British woman returns to a Northern New South Wales town searching to find out what happpened to her missing child. No one in the town recognises her except for the local town cop? A cast of Australian TV actors star with a Rebecca Gibney look a like British actress in this waste of a film budget and a good location.
