You Can't Stop the Murders

Can't Stop the Murders probably is Australia's worse movie. It's a comedy that has all these stand up comics who cant get a gig but are all put in a film for no particular reason. The script is full of cliches and fails to capture the real comedy of The Castle.

To start with, I'm a big fan of the stand-up work that the three co-stars are known for.

That is why I rushed out to see the film, on a Thursday afternoon of all things. Take my advice, try and see this movie with a large crowd of 25-30's. Group laughter will certainly enhance your experience.

Set in a small NSW town, with a population of 350, the movie follow the investigations of a serial killer who is stalking people who have professions used by the Village People. There are plenty of opportunities with the subject matter to get the audience into tears of laughter, but unfortunately the chances either not taken or are minimised with a laid-back small-town feel.

This truly is a wait-for-video film.

This film is okay - not amazing funny but has some nice touches.

For a low budget film it has a very polished look and all in all I think it is far better than most of the comedies currently rushing into production in Australia.

What is also nice about this one is that it is so obviously a labour of love by the three stars who are also the main creative team (director and writers)

It's a nice little film which will perfectly suit a video night with some friends.

This is a really refreshing film given the height of junk my country has been spewing onto the silver screen of late.

An Australian film with a script and story that doesn't seem like it has gone directly out of the scribble pad and onto the screen. It's funny, dark. The best film made here since Muriel's Wedding. I had hoped it would be the beginning of better things for our industry, but alas it would seem it is just a diamond in the rough.

The only thing I have against it is the lack of technical depth with the filming. NOT EVERY Australian FILM HAS TO HAVE EVERY SCENE WITH MAXIMUM LIGHTING. Try having a bit of variety with the look.

Definitely one for the DVD collection. Yay SBS Independent, and yay Miramax (if FFC won't fund good films, at least there are companies that will) Loved It!!!!!!!!!!!

I first saw this movie on DSTV in South Africa in about 2008. The next time it was on I made sure to press the record button, and once I had it recorded I must have watched it almost every weekend I came home from boarding school.

I decided to Google it and noticed it was free to watch on YouTube, and watching it now I cannot help but smile and giggle the entire way through, only stopping to gafaw, pause the movie to Google what the director is currently making, and repeatedly ask myself how it's possible to make a film this good. I genuinely want the ability to make films that are this good.

It's brilliant on many levels and I don't think there is any nook or cranny of the human condition that this film does not explore.
