MCT:September 29, 2008This film made me a bit queasy. The event of the massacre could have made a good picture, I suppose, but this is not it. The exposition before the killings seems almost sadistic in the way it builds an idyllic town's morning routine... we learn that two of the (we assume at the time) victims are soon to be married, and we watch as the killer as shunned by everyone in the village. Little attention is paid to the motive of the killer, save to imply that he was driven mad and had no choice. To admit a lack of answers is not a bad thing, but here it is used as an excuse, and while the killings of the townspeople are thankfully bloodless (out of respect to the families of the lost, I expect), the death of the killer is shown in brutal and gruesome detail. Why is this done? Are we meant to feel sorry for him? Or does the film expect us to feel some vindication in the brutality of his death? But the film's worst offense is how it treats the citizens of the town as little more than pieces on a playing board, as the events of their lives are trivialized into plot points and their personalities are kept to the minimum. There is a good sequence involving an old woman and a man injured by the side of a road, however.

MCT:September 23, 2008This movie was filmed in New Zealand and based on a true massicar! i live in New Zealand and to watch this movie i was pretty disturbed...I reckon its a pretty good film from NZ. One of the bests i could say. It had such a sad and touching story, but if we thought it was bad, how do think the real families of those people felt. Well done NZ =]

I am giving this 4 stars and being kind about it.This movie was good,but it is so incredibly slow at times you will want to fall asleep.The only reason I hung in there was because it was a true story.Some beautiful scenery of New Zealand,But otherwise seriously this guy just got up and went nuts because the local back started charging fees for checks??Seriously??

Well done, disturbing true story. That uses simple everyday people, not alot of Hollywood glitz. If you enjoy true crime you will enjoy this. Though it is disturbing, and makes you wonder why such senseless murders occur much to often.
