Uninhabited (2010)
9/10
not a horror movie, more a European art film
6 August 2010
I saw the film at the Melbourne Film Festival and I must admit, I was really pleasantly surprised.

I went with two other women, and we couldn't stop talking about the film afterward. It really left us thinking about the kind of things that aren't usually discussed in horror movies or thrillers.

It's more like a European art film than an Australian horror film. It has a slow suspenseful build-up, and then something shocking happens, then it has a really intriguing ending. It really made us think about everything that had happened during the film.

Both the actors are great. The actor playing Harry is gorgeous - and the girl playing Beth is a star in the making. Both are in fact. I wouldn't be surprised if they're the new Aussie big- thing in Hollywood in the next few years.

The music is fabulous, very atmospheric, and the photography was stunning. The dialogue was very real and life-like.

Overall I found the film thought-provoking and it stayed with me a long time afterward. It's not super scary, as I was expecting, but it's creepy. It's really unusual, and probably not to everyones taste but my friends and I loved it.
