Primal (Josh Reed, 2010)

Six anthropology students go to Australia's wilderness in order to find and study some long forgotten ancient wall  paintings. And to get laid of course. They won't get attacked by some crazed local hillbilly or crocks. Nope, in this flick they'll get possessed by demons, they will massacre each other and use corpses to feed themselves and foremost to awake some ancient evil creature.

Cool stuff and good mixture of the creature/sci-fi horror. Not too original and a bit predictable (that alien bastard did surprise me) but still very entertaining. It seems to be pretty low budgeted, but special effects are more than decent, especially daylight scenes are effective (rabbit dismembering). But movie doesn't really rely on gore anyways, it uses standard cinematographic tricks to build up tension.

Cast is good but their roles are a bit too stereotyped. We have good guy, introverted one, alpha male, blonde horny slut, silent student and so on. But still they click together well, much better anyways than usual bunch of beautiful young people from Hollywood horror flicks. And they do disappear in the right order, from most asshole-alike to sympathetic ones.

Short and sweet and demons fucking scene is total winner! Aussies did it again.

8/10
