Lemon Tree Passage (2014)

Boring

best movie i've ever seen.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A road in Australia is said to be haunted by a ghost of a man on a motorcycle, who was killed on The Lemon Tree Passage, by a car filled with teenagers. If you are in a car with teenagers and get to a certain speed on this road, you will see a bright light that follows you then disappears. If I tried this the bright light would be the police and probably wouldn't disappear. A group of teenagers try the road out for themselves and one of them gets possessed by another spirit. This spirit wants revenge on some people.This wasn't too bad but it gets confusing at times as to what in the hell is going on. There are some creepy scenes and a few scares but at times it seems too much is going on. Almost like listening to three radio stations at once.5 gas masks hooked up to the exhaust out of 10

Lemon Tree Passage looks like a movie made from three different rejected screenplays. It's utterly inconsistent, shifting its tone multiple times and using cliché base premise that doesn't pan out in any way. It even has stupid teenagers cast who mock how ridiculous campfire story is, and then the movie proceeds on doing that exact same ridiculous cliché.This is the same old story about a group of teenager who try an urban legend. The characters are identical to almost every other horror movies, the main lead brunette who has visions all the time, the possible love interest cool guy, the blondie and the comic relief. They behave in a very predictable way, this might just be a copy of bloopers from 80s horror movie.After a while the logic crumbles as both the characters and even the haunting act in such arbitrary manner. Splitting up in crisis is foolish, but these people split up off-screen without any reasons. The supposed entity even haunts sporadically, it jumps from scene to scene as urban legend, possession and whatever horror gimmick the mood takes it.The movie is a consecutive series of random occurrences which lose any sense of continuity or even structure after thirty minutes, which is already thirty minutes of your life that could've been saved.

Though this review contains spoilers, they appear on the OVERALL section of it.PLOT 4/10 - Regardless of the overall story -- which was actually interesting, the plot tends to become confusing.SOUNDTRACK 4/10 - Nothing special. That thriller feeling is kinda missing from the movie.SPECIAL EFFECTS 6/10 - I'll give it a 6, only because not too many effects were used and most of those used seemed OK while on-screen (we can't forget this is a B-movie).ACTING 3/10 - Mostly shallow.OVERALL 4/10 - Those seeking horror or thriller aspects might get disappointed: this movie is not scary by any means. The overall plot seemed fine, but it got complicated at the end and it seemed that they kinda rushed the finale in, as if they couldn't keep going with what was happening or couldn't give it a better explanation. Finally, also, somethings are left unexplained and even confusing as to why things are happening that way. If you're in for a B-horror flick that keeps your attention until the very end, making you wonder things, but has a strange explanation to the facts, this is the movie.

Okay so I'm forced to write a real review as there are only 1 or 2 which are from someone close to the movie crew. So this movies might be OK if you'r a teen male under 16 and you saw less than 100 movies in your life. If you aren't then don't bother. it's a pure waste of time. Why ? well all the cliché and stereotype are here. The funny thing is one guy starts telling a story " on a dark and stormy night" and they reply : "what a bunch of clichés"..Oh irony :) It takes too long to develop. Just the 2 first minutes perspire bad student movie. It's a copy of a copy of a copy of a bad movie.. no imagination just the kind of movie you do in school to learn how to direct and place cameras. But This movie is not made to be shown anyway it's one of those project that are paid by subvention so the crew is paid doing it and then no matter it does 10 or 1 million entries they wont get more money anyway. It's just excuse to get public money and have a salary doing something. In France that kind of system exist as well the result is 83% of produced movies have less then 10 000 viewers. concerning the scenario well , one can write the synopsis in 3 minutes. that's the kind of story you already saw thousands of times , nothing new here. a big AVOID tag !
