Months have passed since their last find, and an important new customer is now waiting on a delivery.

It sounds appalling, but "100 Bloody Acres" has a spring in its step.
Top CriticThis fairly rote tale of rural ghouls and their passing-through prey has its own hick charm, mostly because of performers who never overplay their hands.
"100 Bloody Acres" is gory good fun.
Though entertaining enough as a genre exercise, the film is too simplistic to transcend its base concept.
"100 Bloody Acres" somehow manages to be both retro and up to date with its giddy, delightful gross-out horror-comedy mash-up storytelling.
You'll laugh, you'll squirm.
Crossing Sweeny Todd with Tucker and Dale Vs Evil, the Cairns boys deliver a lot of laughs, nice and realistic dollops of sticky gore, and quite a lot of heart to boot.
A potently satirical realisation of what "dog eat dog" business strategy really means.
the Cairnes take the blood, bone and shit from other films, cut in some rustic romance and stoner comedy, and grind it all together into an agreeably homegrown blend.
A horror-comedy is typically much tougher to pull off than straight horror - or straight comedy, for that matter - and that balance is all over the shop in this occasionally giggle-worthy, hap-hazard affair.
A highly amusing little horror movie, elevated by uncommonly layered performances, not to mention the voluminous amount of fake blood spewed, limbs torn apart, oddball sex scenes, and one particularly amusing drug trip.
The elements are potentially there for a bloody good time, if gore & black comedy is your thing, yet the debut feature for Colin & Cameron Caines falls flat.
A wickedly funny romp that heralds the arrival of some seriously fiendish talent.
100 Bloody Acres is as mercurial as its central character, breezily offbeat one moment, spattered in gonzo gore the next. It's as if the filmmakers ground the bits of other movies fine enough that it made a rich foundation for their own.
The Morgan brothers' special blend of gross-out laughs is just sustainable enough.
This is a smartly written and acted and exceptionally well-directed movie.
The "no worries mate" tone actually seems to fit an otherwise straightforward hunters-vs.-hunted scenario.
100 Bloody Acres pulls it off, finding some dark strains of humor and some grisly moments to go with them. For genre fans, it's a definite success.
It's gory, irreverent and gross, and it has a pretty cool soundtrack of old-timey Aussie novelty tunes.
An oddly amiable horror-farce that plays like a cross between 1990's Misery and 2012's Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.
The potential for mainstream crossover success is apparent; it's an exceedingly well-made work that both satirises and satisfies, though its gleeful gruesomeness won't be to everyone's taste.

Considering it's for the Caines Brothers a debut film and it's low budget, it's a great film with lots of new ideas in the horror genre. Some elements remind "Tucker and Dale vs. Evil" but it's much more creative and funny.
The cast is perfect starting with Angus Samson and Anna McGahan.
The morals of the movie could be "don't do drugs" and "natural fertilizers aren't what you think".
