Easter holidays usually bring with them their own brand of religious film releases which more often than not tend to be schmaltzy and overly sentimental American imports. With release schedules thrown into complete chaos and cinemas closed to the public due to the current lockdown, it’s encouraging to see smaller production companies stepping up to the challenge, albeit on a much smaller scale.
One of those production companies is Four8, a small British outfit which is pioneering the use of top-class filmmaking, acting and writing talent, to bring us some impressive and high-quality content with its “I Am” series. The series aims to introduce biblical characters in timeless settings and new interpretations.
Directed by Femi Oyeniran, I Am Pilate is the latest short in this series. At just over 11 minutes long, the film seeks to tell the story of Pontius Pilate, the fifth governor of the Roman province of Judaea,...

Directors/writers: Cameron and Colin Cairnes. Cast: Damon Herriman, Angus Sampson, Anna McGahan, Oliver Ackland, and Jamie Kristian. 100 Bloody Acres is an Aussie shot gorefest from brothers Cameron and Colin Cairnes. Their first feature naturally follows two brothers: Reg (Damon Herriman) and Lindsay Morgan (Angus Sampson). These two characters must hack and slash their way through unwary travellers and unfortunate roadkill, to make the best fertilizer around Adelaide. Their exploits often go wrong and much of the comedy in this title comes from the Morgan brother's lack of focus. The spray of blood and bone is just a result of their mishaps. The story, if looked at from a distance, follows many cliches found in horror. A few young friends cross the wrong people in an isolated locale. But, the characters make this film more enjoyable. The protagonist, Reg, begins as a villain, but he transitions into an unlikely hero...

Australian horror comedy 100 Bloody Acres got mostly rave reviews in the Us last week including from major media outlets such as The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.
Those plaudits apparently did not stir American cinemagoers as the debut film from the brothers Cameron and Colin Cairnes took just $US3,419 at 13 screens.
However the producers say the primary strategy by the Us distributor Doppelgänger Releasing was to position the film on Video-On-Demand platforms and later on DVD and Blu-ray. It was released simultaneously on VOD with the theatrical launch in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Portland and Denver. The VOD results won.t be known for some weeks.
The twisted tale of two brothers (Damon Herriman, Angus Sampson) who ran an organic fertiliser business in the bush using human corpses, it opens in Australia on August 1 via eOne Hopscotch.

The hilarious and oddly heartfelt Australian horror comedy 100 Bloody Acres (review) is finally making its Stateside debut on VOD everywhere June 28th courtesy of Doppleganger Releasing.
Written and directed by Colin and Cameron Cairnes, 100 Bloody Acres stars Damon Herriman, Angus Sampson, Anna McGahan, Oliver Ackland, Jamie Kristian and John Jarratt (Wolf Creek). The story follows the Morgan Brothers, Reg (Herriman) and Lindsay (Sampson) who are struggling to keep their organic blood and bone fertilizer business in motion. Their secret “recipe” for success (using dead car crash victims in their product) was a huge boon to business, but lately their supply has all but dried up until one day Reg comes across three kids stranded for a ride; thinking his problems are miraculously solved, he delivers the trio to Lindsay for ‘processing’ but of course, nothing goes according to plan for the Morgan’s or their victims.

At Any Price: Aussie Horror Comedy Predictable, Maintains Interest
Content with delivering an overly familiar comedy-horror scenario even as it seems committed to bringing both with equal measure, 100 Bloody Acres, the debut film from Aussie brothers Cameron and Colin Cairnes, is never scary, but manages to squeeze some effective gore and several laughs out of its derivative little soul. Rednecks terrorizing/cannibalizing/disemboweling insipidly stupid and attractive but unremarkable city folk that unwittingly stumble into the hellacious rural hinterlands is a horror trademark, but try as it does to remain true to being both funny and scary, the Cairnes brothers end up giving too little of either element to make this effort satisfactory.
Lindsay and Reg Morgan (Angus Sampson and Damon Herriman) are two brothers living in the boonies, running an organic fertilizer business. But times are tough all over, and for economic reasons, the Morgan Bros came up...

Your parents always told you never to accept rides from strangers; you never know whose car you’re getting into. That is a general truism and one that is exploited quite often in horror cinema. The kindest and most dim-witted are the ones you need to look out for. Case in point, 100 Bloody Acres.
The film starts off with the strange introduction of Reg (House of Wax’s Damon Herriman) who finds a man wrecked on the side of the road and proceeds to stash the body in his delivery truck. A weird but decent idea I guess, until he runs across three hitchhikers, one of whom he cannot resist. The hitchhikers, Wesley (Jamie Kristian), James (Oliver Ackland), and Sophie (Anna McGahan) are on their way to a music festival, but a broken down car alters their fate. Reg, not thinking with his big head, (though if he was, I...

My regular readers may remember that I am psychologically predisposed towards liking any horror film that comes from Australia. I'm not sure why, exactly, but I think it's because their indie films often exhibit some true effort and novelty; because they're a cool and colorful people who don't take themselves too seriously; and because a lot of them really seem to love a good horror flick. The new Aussie import known as 100 Bloody Acres is most assuredly a comedy first and a horror film second, but kudos to the Colin and Cameron Cairnes for maintaining a strong balance of gross humor and shocking violence.
Our plot focuses on a pair of wildly disparate brothers (one's sort of twitchy; the other is a hulking brute) who run a very unique organic fertilizer business. The small, dopey brother (Damon Herriman) comes across a horrible car crash, and (like an idiot) decides to steal all of the corpses.

It’s been said before (by me) that the horror/comedy hybrid is one of the toughest genre mash-ups to get right. More often than not one of the two suffers as the filmmakers focus on one to the detriment of the other. It’s not that the two need to be equally represented, but they need to be equally sincere. A recent and rare example of one that succeeds is the new Australian film, 100 Bloody Acres. It’s a very funny comedy through and through, but it never shies away from the red stuff. When the going gets tough the tough get grinding, and in the Morgan Brothers’ case what they’re grinding are human bodies. They’re not murderers per se as they rely almost exclusively on accident victims, but what else are small business owners to do when they discover that humans are the secret ingredient that makes their fertilizer more popular than ever...
