How to defile nature at every turn
There are very few things in life that are more annoying than feeling like you’ve gotten the old bait and switch. That’s kind of what this movie delivers. I realize it’s not the movie’s fault that IMDb has “horror” as a tag for this movie, but still…no. No to this being in any way a horror movie. I think calling it a thriller is even a bit of a stretch. There’s a few tense moments, but on the whole it’s just a drama about two people who can’t stand each other.

The premise of the movie follows a husband and wife over a long weekend getaway to the beach in Australia. The problem is that the friends they are trying to meet up with never arrive. Oh…and they hate each other. That too. The whole running thread of them constantly pissing off nature is hardly even a subplot, but somehow manages to be the impetus of all the bad things that happen. I get it…it’s bad to litter and be a general prick towards nature. I wholeheartedly agree. But then again I seriously doubt nature has time to waste being a vengeful jackass to two small time folks when there are…say…millions of other people harming the environment in much more serious ways. But I guess that’s the point (maybe); if John Everyman isn’t kind to nature, nature will quite literally kill him. Or something. Regardless, Long Weekend manages to be middle of the road at best in just about every aspect. There’s nothing here I’d even remotely call horror, it fails to foster any sort of paranoia or even cheap jumpy thrills like a good thrill, and pretty much everyone involved is thoroughly unlikeable.

That’s pretty much how I would sum up the whole movie…thoroughly unlikeable. Which is really a shame since I really like some of Jim Caveizel’s (or however you spell his last name) other work. I wouldn’t say you should avoid this movie, but there’s certainly better movies with similar themes.

Barely called a horror film
While on vacation at a secluded Australian beach, a couple’s behavior toward the environment and to the animals living there eventually riles them up enough to force them to attack the couple, turning the vacation into a literal, waking nightmare.

This was an utterly atrocious effort that really has very, very little going for it. The biggest issue with this is the most obvious, as what was supposed to be a horror film is instead much more of a drama about an Aussie couple heading for divorce at extreme odds with each other that tends to dominate the film to the point of forsaking most other elements and putting them in the background. By focusing on their issues during the first hour, which includes their behavior toward each other as well as how he reacts to her obvious and growing distress at what’s going on around them, to him acting like a prick and her getting shot down because he’s a prick, this almost tends to make it seem like the animals are after them merely for their marital problems almost as much as their disrespectful attitudes. This one just becomes intolerable because of this wasted time before the animals start attacking with all of this nonsense that’s supposed to make us like and care for these people when it does the exact opposite at urging for their swift and utterly violent demise within seconds of meeting them, yet continues on for as long as we’re here with the couple, and moreso this affects the pacing here by just not doing anything remotely interesting at all. None of this is appealing or enjoyable, no one is really all that exciting to be around, and this is just endless and excruciating because of that. While it’s nothing to get worked up over, there’s some good stuff there on a recurring gag with a sea animal, fantastic atmosphere with the noises around them and howling off in the distance as well as some harrowing chases through the overgrown undergrowth in the woods. Still, this is all too little too late to mean anything as this was a complete waste.
