Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Christophe Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

atinder Huge fan of killer animal movies and this as been on watch list for a few years, I really looking forward to this and the remake, I was going to watch them back to back.This movie takes while to getting going, I don't mind some slow build up unless there go some where.I found most of this movie very boring, the couple were very annoying, who could not care less if they were killed by these animals. I Felt bored and frustrated throughout the movie, even Animals attacks scenes will really dull, Could have been done better!I don't think acting the was bad, why would make two couple so annoying they you wish they do get killed.The last scenes was bloody Joke, it's actually funny!3 out of 10

oz-marky Cencorship laws changed in Australia at the end of the 1960s paving the way for a wave of, what are known as, OZ-ploitation films. Nudity, violence, sex and gore made them perfect for late night showings in the USA. Long Weekend is one of the most famous OZ-ploitation films of the 1970s. It gained a cult following and is also a favorite of Quentin Tarantino. Slow paced, thought-provoking,unexplained and atmospheric, this is a film that doesn't go by formula. Beautifully photographed and filled with uneasiness, this is a movie for those who love creepy and quirky, and especially the Australian brand of weird. The remake of the same name is atrocious.

merklekranz How this film wound up at 95 minutes is one great mystery? Oh wait now I remember, it's because it is redundant beyond belief. You get constantly repeated scenes of eerie noises, rustling underbrush, looking out to sea, and meaningless dialog between two unlikable characters. That's why! This is really nothing more than one long camping trip gone bad, and you will be quickly bored by the total lack of substance. In fact, the material offered would have difficulty filling out a one hour "Twilight Zone" episode. At 95 minutes everything is stretched beyond belief, and since you really won't care about the annoying bickering couple anyway, I suggest avoiding this long and tedious movie. - MERK

rstef1 From reading the other reviews I am apparently in the minority here. I truly enjoy eerie, deliberately paced Aussie films like Picnic at Hanging Rock and The Last Wave, but I need to care about or at least empathize with the main characters. These 2 protagonists just left me cold. I couldn't believe for one second that they would go off to the wilds on a long weekend of roughing it, and it was no fun watching them bicker and sulk for 90 minutes. Even when things are going downhill and any sensible person would get the hell out of there, the guy behaves like a total tool and stays. The big revelation at the hour mark seemed like a ridiculous plot device thrown in to keep the viewer interested, rather than a real life situation, and did nothing to explain why the wife would have ever agreed to the weekend trip to the outback beach.I will give both actors credit as they obviously tried hard with their characters, but the script gives them nothing to work with. To call this a classic as some here have done is extremely generous. I'd suggest watching a lot more films before bestowing that honor on this flick. For a more fun "nature turns the tables on man" flick, watch Frogs from 1972; it's silly but enjoyable. For a truly creepy lost in the woods movie, stick with Blair Witch Project.
