100 Bloody Acres Reviews

Though entertaining enough as a genre exercise, the film is too simplistic to transcend its base concept.

Full Review

It's a film that's about as funny and/or scary as a lump of sod.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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.

Full Review

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Playing like a Down Under Elmore Leonard novel, 100 Bloody Acres features lucky breaks and quick reverses; a persistent soundtrack of Aussie oldies helps keep the mood cheery, despite a literal vatful of blood.

Full Review

It's gory, irreverent and gross, and it has a pretty cool soundtrack of old-timey Aussie novelty tunes.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

The Morgan brothers' special blend of gross-out laughs is just sustainable enough.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

A potently satirical realisation of what "dog eat dog" business strategy really means.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5

100 Bloody Acres is extremely funny comedy for viewers who can handle bloodshed, death and yappy little dogs being kicked across the room. (No dogs were harmed in the making of this film.)

Full Review | Original Score: B

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.

Full Review | Original Score: B

Brothers Colin and Cameron Cairnes carry it off with a good deal of energy and style, providing just enough blood and guts to satisfy horror fans, leavened with a large dollop of black humor...

Full Review

A wickedly funny romp that heralds the arrival of some seriously fiendish talent.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10

It sounds appalling, but "100 Bloody Acres" has a spring in its step.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

One sees a film called 100 Bloody Acres expecting the requisite allusions to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but an homage to the best scene in Melvin and Howard comes as something of a shock.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

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.

Full Review

An oddly amiable horror-farce that plays like a cross between 1990's Misery and 2012's Tucker and Dale vs. Evil.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Frankly speaking, this flick capably represents almost everything I admire about indie Aussie genre films. I expect to see more from these filmmakers soon.

Full Review

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.
