Monster Pies (2013)

You won't be disappointed!

Sorry, this movie sucks

Good concept, poorly executed.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

the plot is similar to many other gay movies out there. the characters are nice. i like the back story about the main character's families. that adds some depth to it. unfortunately, there are too many clichés in the movie- too much crying and emotional breakdowns, ignorant family members and the worse- suicide. i think will didn't have a real motive for suicide. yes, his life sucks, but he was a strong character. i think in RL he wouldn't do it, or at least not in that moment. that was a disappointment for me. and after that scene, i just wanted for the movie to end as fast as possible. it's a nice movie to watch and you will probably love it, if it's your first gay movie, but it's nothing we haven't seen yet. i wished the dialogue would have been more interesting. at least i could enjoy lucas linehan's sexy Australian accent :D

I know this won't be much of a review. I'm actually still trying to process the movie in my head.The storyline was absolutely touching, and it's rare that a film actually leaves me in tears at the end, and this has to be the hardest I've cried after a film. Sure the acting could have been better most times, but everything else made up for it. It was such a job well done.I really do appreciate the fact that an indie film has had such an impact on me. This is definitely something to add to my favourites to watch again in the future. Again, I have never been so touched by a movie like I have by this one.

I agree with many of the comments left so far and none of them prevent me from absolutely loving this low budget indie Australian film. The story is not new, but these are stories that should be told and told again. Especially as there are so few from an Australian perspective. As others have mentioned, in parts the production can be a little messy. However you quickly get used to this, and in the end (unintentionally) it makes the whole film feel more real. Imagine finding a slightly tattered rug, but once wrapped around you it was the warmest most comfortable rug you could find. That's how I felt about this film.The two leads are great young actors. Considering this was Lucas Linehams first feature film, he has done an outstanding job and I look forward to seeing him in any upcoming roles.I could imagine this movie being put on a school curriculum for students anywhere in the world to discuss the concepts of same sex attracted students, bullying and domestic violence. As a result of these themes, it does get upsetting at times. But please don't let that put you off seeing this very moving movie.

this movie was slow to start but the casting of Lucas Linehan as William kept me glued watching..i also loved watching the home room teacher and at the end how supportive she was towards Tristan Barr..i applaud Lee Galea for that one dramatic scene..seriously, i didn't see that coming.. the chemistry between the two main characters, just looking at how they kiss..very natural and great to watch (and mind you there was a scene of them on the bed with no clothes on so keep your eyes open for that hehehe).. Monster Pies is well worth watching but if it was up to me i would have rearranged the scenes and the appearance of the characters to make it more easily to digest and smoother
