A YOUNG COUPLE STOP FOR THE NIGHT IN A SMALL DESOLATE TOWN. DURING THE NIGHT, THE HUSBAND GOES OUT LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT AND WHEN HE GETS BACK TO THE MOTEL, HIS PREGNANT WIFE IS GONE. WHILE HE LOOKS FOR HER, SHE WAKES UP IN A CLINIC WHERE HER BABY HAS BEEN TAKEN BY C-SECTION. SHE RUNS INTO OTHER MOTHERS WHO HAVE ALSO LOST THEIR BABIES, AND THEN THEY START LOOKING FOR THEIR NEWBORNS.
THIS IS AN AUSTRALIAN HORROR/THRILLER, AND IT IS JUST AS WELL DONE AS SOME OTHER AUSTRALIAN HORROR MOVIES, SUCH AS STORM WARNING, COFFIN ROCK, THE SQUARE AND WOLF CREEK, ALL WHICH I WOULD RECOMMEND. TABRETT BETHELL PLAYS THE YOUNG MOTHER BETH. TABRETT IS PROBABLY BEST KNOWN FOR PLAYING CARA IN "LEGEND OF THE SEEKER." IF YOU LIKED HER KICK BUTT STYLE IN THAT SERIES, YOU WILL DEFINITELY LIKE HER IN THIS MOVIE: ONCE SHE STARTS LOOKING FOR HER BABY, THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL STOP HER. SHE EVEN CHASES AND TACKLES A GUY WHO PROBABLY WEIGHS 100 POUNDS MORE THAN HER, NOT TO MENTION SOME FIGHT SCENES. AS FOR THE MOVIE, IT STARTS OFF FAIRLY PEACEFUL AND THEN TURNS INTO A SUSPENSEFUL BRUTAL CHASE FILM. THERE IS PLENTY OF BLOOD AND GORE AND A FEW SCENES THAT MAY MAKE YOU LOOK AWAY. AT THE END, BETH FINDS OUT A TRUTH ABOUT HERSELF THAT MAY BE SURPRISING TO SOME, BUT IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIE CAREFULLY, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIGURE IT OUT.
RATING 3 OUT OF 5
NO EXTRAS ON THE RENTAL DVD.
