“This Aussie romp about inept murder-brothers (played by Angus Sampsonu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eand Damon Herriman) exemplifies what a horror-comedy should be. The quips are laugh-out-loud worthy, the physical humour is never absurd or bad enough to take you out of the moment, the premise is original enough, the reference humour is played well and doesnu0026#39;t get in your face (which I truly appreciate, and makes for the much better laugh), itu0026#39;s just haphazard enough to feel roller-coaster-y without feeling disjointed, from a formulaic standpoint it stands heads and shoulders above most other films of the genre. Unfortunately, this is about all that 100 Bloody Acres can really say for itself. Itu0026#39;s true thereu0026#39;s virtually nothing bad about it, but nothing stands out about beyond this either. Itu0026#39;s a solid film, a recommendable one even, but thereu0026#39;s no real staying factor here, and I fear its value will slip with the passing of time, which is unfortunate for such a rare bit of perfectly-toeing-the-line horror/comedy. 68% -Gimly”
