There's a good stretch of time in 100 Bloody Acres where you know all the pieces are in place for a really good movie, they just don't quite mesh all together, but then it hits its stride and never looks back.
3 friends on their way to a music festival break down in the Australian country side and get mixed up with a couple of brothers who've developed a rather disturbing way of helping their crops grow. Leaning on very strong performances from Angus Sampson and Damon Herriman as the brothers, the film does take a while to build, but it's full of charm and well worth waiting out the slow build to get to the hilarious final act.
There is a fair amount of gore and some tension early, but this is a comedy through and through. The most engaging thing about the movie is that the characters all develop, they aren't cut and dry from beginning to end. Every decision that the characters make lead to, and affect the next decision they make. It's a strong script is what I'm saying.
There's no nudity, but Anna McGahan as lead female is scrumptious and scantily clad most of the time. The look and soundtrack of the movie are also big pluses.
If you're in the mood to laugh and see some people get shredded up, 100 Bloody Acres is bloody good fun, mate.
