Taking into account that i have watched only 2nz movies in my whole life and that i didn`t expect too much of this one, The locals was a really nice surprise...worth watching and much better than a lot of so called horror movies shot in the states.
shareGlad you enjoyed. Other kiwi movies you might like;

check out "Snakeskin" "Sleeping Dogs" and " Stickmen" too. All of them good Kiwi flicks. Sleeping Dogs is actually great!
sharehow about dead alive (aka braindead) too :D
shareI just watched this on Showtime - and although I picked the ending early - I thoroughly enjoyed it. 8/10 from me.

This movie was pathetic, HORRIBLE ACTING, low budget like hell, whats up with all the lighting at nighttime? lmao absolute pathetic movie how boring.
shareA low budget movie that looks low budget, yeah what's up with that? Grow a brain idiot. The lighting scheme was supposed to reflect that mood, also the director quoted that he "wanted it to look like it had been light up by rows of car headlights next to each other". It was an artistic idea that worked on some levels, and while the acting wasn't the greatest, you can't even argue that Dwayne Cameron was bad because he was fantastic.
shareI agree that "The Locals" was a very good, fresh and surprising supernatural variant on your standard "danger on the road" horror plot. There have been a lot of fright films made as of late using the generic road trip gone nightmarishly wrong premise (for example, "Wrong Turn," "Joyride," and "The Forsaken"); this particular film put a genuinely novel and inspired supernatural spin on that premise. I liked it a whole lot and give it an 8 out of 10.
