Throwback (2015)

Thanks for the memories!

Load of rubbish!!

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

If you've grown tired of most of the crap that comes out of Hollyweird, you have to give this a flick a try. I must admit to really liking B movies. There are some good ones out there, and "Throwback" is one of them. Will you see millions of dollars in special effects? NO. Snobby actors who are just looking for a payday? NO. What you do get though, are some good actors, good writing and good directing. The location was an excellent choice and they did a good job in how they presented the monster. AND also unlike Hollywood, the ending was good. The main actor and the writer/director have another collaboration coming out soon, and I am looking forward to it as well.

This movie is bloody gold :) meet Travis Bain the other week and Vernon Wells they are totally awesome guys. Keep making the awesome work guys hope you fellas see this review I'll definitely be a regular for your films now Travis :) love the use of the beautiful cairns forests and Paronelka park absolutely amazing screen writing and acting. Cannot wait to see more for you :) I love how you kept the suspense and mystery going throughout the whole film and always kept you thinking and alert all the way through the film. I loved the alternate ending featured on the DVD that ending was awesome. I loved how you turned an Aussie legend no one has ever thought of doing before into such an amazing film for the first of it kind its killer :)

This was a bit poor to be honest and felt like it went on forever. I love low budget horror, especially Bigfoot and werewolf movies but the cardinal sin is to not show the monster (even if it's a ropey homemade costume attempt). I can understand the last reviewer smelling something fishy about the previous amazing ones as this is nowhere near the best Australian movie of the year and would probably be lucky to get into the top 50. On the plus side it didn't take itself too seriously and the characters were likable enough.The plot was average but could have made up for it with a bit of gore. It gives me no pleasure in saying this but overall it's a grim effort.

Saw this at a festival in Arkansas. I'd heard the director fully self-funded the film so had to see for myself. Man, did this fella stretch a buck. Shots, editing, scenery are damn perfect. The story was good enough and the actors did a great job. Loved the cameo by Vernon Wells. Make no mistake, this is a cheap film. But it holds up better than most tinseltown offerings. Hope to see what the team behind this could do with a proper budget. The only thing that bugged me was the stretched out suspense moments. Too much of this going on n last half hour when things should have been racing along. The man-in-suit wasn't fooling anyone but on a budget like this totally forgiven. Everyone in the cinema had a ball watching it. Gonna check the bluray for the ton of extras.
