Dreamtime's Over (II) (2009)
9/10
really cool film that's a lot of fun. A group of 20 somethings head out into the outback on a 4WD adventure, but are lured by an ancient indigenous curse to a sacred site

this is a really different style of film making. It has a really cool, edgy feel, and once they get out of the city and into the desert, the environment takes on like a storybook feel... really eerie and cool. The evil presence that is causing all the damage, is incredible. What happens is that the zombies are lit from within, and they have these burning cinders coming off them. This underlying theme of fire follows through the story, up until you get to the ending where the weird guy at the campfire is chanting and doing aboriginal drawings on Kate's stomach. He's the guardian of this insatiable monster that's been awakened (by the revenge killing the opening scene) and he's serving the monster by luring victims to the site. You learn from the voice-over of the wise old woman at the end that the revenge killing has awakened the dark side of a creature that was previously a source of protection for the land and the people and has been slumbering for centuries, deep under the ground. But the revenge killing has awakened its dark side and it now needs a constant diet of tourists to satisfy its hunger. At the end when Kate kills the monster's keeper (weird guy), the monster reverts to the previous benign being and all is well with the world again .... or is it???????? Sensational soundtrack too
