Here's a film that goes through the motions with not much foundation, an Oz Indie, which will satisfy gore hounds. A few of the movies of much recent, and older ones, angrily reflect The Furies, but this one does have a little spin on, which doesn't really matter, where too, that part has borrowed from other films. There's one memorable classic line of dialogue of " had me in a titter or two. Basically here's another tale of the weaker sex player, pitted against the much stronger male hunter, in the harsh afternoon heat of the woods, in a nondescript area somewhere in upper NSW I'm sure. Some shots around the cabins, had me highly familiarizing myself with Belair National Park, or Parra Wirra. A well chosen locale, regardless. It's killl or be killed. Our strong lead actress, who plays Kayla, wakes up in a box dumped in these woods, where she soon finds she's not alone, with beauties and beasts. One hunter is assigned one girl each, he must take down, where girls and guys are paired. If one hunter fails in his quest, he dies too in a WEDLOCK (movie reference) way. There's shades of Series 7 in this too. The little Asian lass is funny and mad, speaking in tongues, fast and funny. She's very enterrtaining, and ads some spice to the movie. From the person operating this evil hunting group, we have SLIVER (movie reference) moments. I do admire some of the qualities of The Furies, but the female characters are shallow written, some of them, hardly likeable.The score is great. So is the title. But we've seem it all before. Some moments of The Furies actually cause fury, and has the most un-scariest masks which look to be made out of melon skin, truly pathetic, as are some moments of the film. Not without a watch, but sheer disappointments will ensue for some. Watch your eyes too.
