Black Hands (2020)
An excellent portrayal of a dysfunctional Family.
Full kudos to all involved in the making of this drama.The acting was right on par from what I personally knew of the Cullen Bains.The attention to detail was 100% spot on,from the run down house to the sweeping views of the Otago coast and the Dunedin land marks.This drama is an excellent insight into what was one of New Zealand's most talked about murders.Well worth a watch.
Black Mountain Side (2014)
Slow,long and extremely time wasting.
Even the opening scene was boring,a bunch of blokes playing poker around a table,there was a cat though....I should have turned off in the first ten minutes when absolutely nothing happened,but the premise sounded good.My partner went to bed after the cat was 'sacarificed',he hates animals dying in movies,plus the cat did nothing wrong.Anyway,we never do find out who,why or what killed puss.SLOWLY,and I mean SLOWLY the movie gains momentum,actually no,that's a lie it NEVER gains momentum.After over an hour of watching the cast 'self harm',shoot and amputate each other for no reason other than they have somehow contracted a long dead 'virus' that turns them insane,you now have the story line.Now throw in a 'scary'deer monster that tells the remaining crew to kill each other,and you basically have the rest of the movie.Finally, after almost two hours it ends abruptly leaving me totally underwhelmed and with more questions than answers as to what this movie was about....Fascinating stuff!!!
