Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I watched There's Something In The Pillaga on Prime Video which actually does have some great horror movies. Being curious I watched in and was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. This film is a found footage one and even though that genre is kind of being done to death, this was a better attempt than most these days.
The story involves Jay (Brendan Byrne) and his mate and cameraman Dylan (Paul Denham) as they travel around with Jay's dog. They both pick up a couple of intoxicated girls and then things take a turn for the worse.
Filled with tension and quite a few good scares this film does not hesitate but jumps right in.
All the actors in this do an excellent job and the they filmmakers are careful to keep the jump scare to a minimum. All up, this is a welcome addition to Aussie films but if I had one complaint, it would be that it went just a tad too long. Instead of finishing it on a really terrifying note, the filmmaker kept it going and to me, it started losing suspense. But that is just a small complaint considering the film's overall fine acting and camera work. I would definitely watch it again.

Horrible movie, complete waste of time. Wish I could give it negative stars. How does crap like this even get made?

There's Something In The Pilliga (TSITP) is a standout among found footage films. Minimal budget and many non-actors have helped convey a mood and theme that is desolate, dark and downright creepy. Imperfection is undoubtedly a gift in this case whether it be through the cinematography or in fact the acting - it simply works. It's also not hard to follow. Two guys meet two girls at a pub in outback Australia on New Year's Eve and talk them into a drive to see their friend in the woods. They arrive only to find the friend is missing. The fact it is also based on a true story is also downright creepy. Australia is a dangerous place and not very forgiving when you're out in the outback. It is no different this time either. When the four people try to find the missing friend they are stalked by a Bigfoot and one by one taken out. The fact you barely see the creature also works. Less is more in this case. On the whole it's easily in front of other found footage and Bigfoot films for many reasons. Leoni Leaver and Brendan Byrne's acting, the cinematography, the locations, the score has the story. It doesn't rely on the monster too much and uses the outback as a scary character. The outback is arguably to scariest character of them all! Easily a four star film, highly recommend it to any horror or found footage fan who likes suspense and subtle scares. If you didn't like it I'd say you need to watch it again because the more you do the better it gets as you learn more details. (TSITP) is real hidden Aussie gem!

I'm usually not a big fan of the "lost camera" or "found footage" movies so I was a little hesitant with this movie to start with.From the very start this movie grabs you. The main character "Jay" is a very relatable character. If you have ever been to small country towns in Australia, this is truly how they talk and act. With a very typical big 4WD ute and 3 days growth. The first half of the film does a very good job of building character.The movie builds well up to the point where things start to get "hairy". The movie has trouble keeping pace and I found there was a bit too much pointing at the ground but I guess if you're scared you're not worried about camera work.As a whole I really enjoyed the movie and would have no problem recommending it to friends or family. If you grew up around Boggabri, Gunnedah or Coona this is a MUST see!! Big thumbs up to Dane on a great Aussie flick!!
