Lost Gully Road

Lucy (Adele Perovic) drives up to a house located in bush land and we soon learn that she has plans to wait at the house on her own as she will be meeting up with her sister. She kills time by inspecting the house and investigating the general atmosphere that surrounds her. Lucy and her sister seem to have something planned which is slightly vague but to top it off, something or someone is lurking around Lucy IN OR AND? the house...is it a person? A ghost? Or something worse?

Lost Gully Road is a fairly basic film with a super small cast. Some audiences might be surprised to see the film isn't always dialogue heavy. Instead, we are given some pretty creative shots which ate designed to give the audience a true idea of the atmosphere that surrounds Lucy and the fact that something bad is brewing...

One element I rather enjoyed was the film's audio track/sound effects. At multiple times the film gives the vibe of exactly what Lucy sees and hears. My Surround speakers were loaded with birds flying around, noises in the house, car engines rumbling and the list goes on. The suspense delivered in both audio and visual can't be denied, nor can the creativity of both of these elements. I also enjoyed seeing the film show a few good shots that truly show off the goods that is Australia!

As a plot, the film is slightly vague and the overall enjoyment will be up to the individual. If you're the type of movie lover who enjoys lots of plot and fast paced activity, you may find Lost Gully Road a slightly "slow burn" in regards to the plot department. Lost Gully Road doesn't tell its story in a rush but more so takes its time to build up the suspense which I personally enjoyed. As a thriller I found this film aimed for something above the standard creepy (or slasher) horror film. The look of the film is B grade, but sure, not every film needs an outrageous budget to tell its story. Lost Gully Road made me feel like I was watching a midday film or a TV episode. No matter what you think of the film, as it progresses, viewers will be become more curious to know what the threat is that Lucy encounters while waiting for her sister in this house.

Overall, this is a creative Australian film delivering a thriller with a basic plot and small cast. Lost Gully Road is to be enjoyed at a smooth, slow pace which only builds tension and the viewer's curiosity. It's different, it's creative and there's something to admire here based on the filming style alone. The film's audio track was also fun, showing off the suspense and bit of the fun that is the nature of Australia.

This appeared on my streaming service and I was looking forward to watching it on this cold, rainy evening as I really enjoy a good isolated cabin in the woods scenario. Unfortunately this was the most boring film I have ever seen. The actress is wooden and can't act for peanuts. She cannot hold an entire film on her own, how the heck was she picked..... is she the daughter or a relative of the producer or financial backer? Expecting us to watch her wooden face for almost one and a half hours, along with her bowl haircut and pierced nose is really asking a lot of the audience. Zero charisma and talent. Now if we had a Ruth Wilson playing the part it may have been something else but it is what it is..a stinker. Better to paint your ceiling and watch it dry.

I thinking that Lost Tree was a bad movie, maybe it has ridiculous plot, BUT it HAS real plot. Lost Gully Road - film with good actors play, but without any plot at all. You have pointless chatting about someone named Henry and a bag and it all goes to nothing. Its not a plot. And even real story line - its a good plot (maybe) for 10 minutes short, not for actual movie. Its not scary, not interesting, you only can amuse yourself with antics of Adele Perovic - I think she did that, because even she feel sorry for someone who will go see this "film". So one star for camera work, one star for how good actors play. And yes - in sound department all was just tolerably. And three screamers in last 1/3! You guys really have a nerve.

Wow, this is a very unique film. Its sad that some folks dont try in the direct to streaming business, but if they were, its time to change careers. I'm very ok with low budget as long as its intetesting, this just isnt.

A girl goes to stay at a house in the woods, hiding from a guy, the reason not mentioned. Her sister keeps calling her, giving more excuses why she cant join her. Sooo the girl drinks, pops pills and goes for walks.

Hmmmmm did this script take 2 or 3 hours to write? A few trips into town to a store where John Brumpton is cast as a clerk? Serious, after his roll in Storm Warning?

The lead actress isnt interesting at all, the camera work is great as is the location setting. A great DP made a huge difference here. Many anoying 15 seconds of blank screen in between scenes, not artistic, just there to stretch this agony to 77 minutes.

Honestly, this looks like a DP rented a place for the weekend with some friends and they decided to bust out a movie without a script, making decisions in between takes.

Oh, non climactic and abrupt ending. Ran out of beer?

Lost Gully Road is an Australian supernatural movie. It is a movie that does take its time to tell the tale of a young woman hiding out in a house in the Australian bush.

The isolation and boredom set in, but odd thing begin to happen.

The movie does show the isolation and loneliness that the main character begins to experience.

This is a very creepy and atmospheric movie. A few people have complained that it is too slow and really not much happens for long stretches.

The movie invokes a sense of eerieness that really gives the viewer an unsettling feeling.

The acting is good, if a little minimal but again, it does help the movie's sinister's undercurrent .

This may not be a film for everyone, but for those who stick with it, will be rewarded.
