Turbines

There's nothing wrong with this movie. It's more of a psychological horror. No real gore. It's watching a man slip into mental illness. The acting was fine, the script was fine. If you're looking for jump scares, this isn't it. But give it a try! I did.

Having watched this movie with a group of 5 friends after finding it through a random selection of movies online, our consensus on this film is that we thought it was stupid, but it was at least entertaining in a group.

By no means does low budget inherently mean something is BAD, I have seen plenty of low budget films that've been great! But the quality of this film was... generally pretty bad. Acting wasn't great, microphone quality was total trash, makeup and effects were bare minimum effort, and the plot itself wasn't really worth the amount of time we spent watching.

None of the characters were particularly distinguishable from each other other than The Wife and The Kid. We collectively struggled to recognize a person involved in The Twist™ of the film. There were multiple time-skips in the film, one of which that explicitly mentioned 5 years passed. All of the other time-skips were easy to miss and hard to follow.

My personal favourite part of the film was every single time the scene changed to Atilla's work, and he was just hammering the same fence pole. It didn't matter how much time had passed, it looked like absolutely no work had been done.

This is yet another low budget horror film from the nether regions of Australia. Low budget and low everything else. A film needs to have if not a plot then some sort of excuse for a plot. A documentary about a spree killer shooting people at random has a plot by default, namely following the people hunting him. But a film in which a bloke goes around pummelling people to death with a hammer, and next to nothing else doesn't really cut the mustard.

True, there is the inference that somehow turbines are responsible, or maybe the guy has a brain tumour like real life spree killer Charles Whitman. There is a punchline at the very end which is perhaps not what the viewer would expect, but really, this one has nothing to offer.

Cowboys used to be line runners or fence checkers. This was an important job when barbed wire fences ran for miles and were the only thing keeping cattle from straying. In this movie the same job is apparently to keep the wind turbines from straying. There is no other explanation for this job. None. Wind turbines usually spread from private to public to private land, and if cattle or other animal herds cohabited the space, then fencing would be important. Otherwise, why does this job exist? They cannot be defending the turbines. Anyone can climb a fence. Why do I care? Because the entire movie is based on this job. Both fail.

On the streaming service I watched this on they gave no actual plot it basically said it's scary and nothing more and in retrospect it was the perfect description because this movie has no plot. The first half hour was nothing but him crawling on to and off of the female lead which was entirely with out value since she might be the best looking woman on the planet. There is nothing here I'm not sure how a horror movie about a wind farm would make you say "windmills are perfect subplot to a horror movie" but apparently someone thought it was.
