Thin plot with depressing overtone
9 September 2010
Warning: Spoilers
'Long weekend' try's to make a good point. The main characters are a city bred couple that have no respect for nature and is about nature's revenge. At least that's what the plot is supposed to be.

Honestly the plot line was so thin in many places it might as well be non-existent. There weren't actually a lot of moments it seemed like nature was going out of its way to attack the two main protagonists. At some points it seems to forget that nature was the enemy altogether for instance *spoiler// a character being harpooned in the neck by no one and what is either an inconsistent sci-fi anomaly or just them walking in circles //spoiler end*.

The characters were completely wrong for a horror film, a depressing couple at the peak of their marriage ending and no like ability factor - which would have been alright if there had been any character development. As for the horror, all they had was a slightly creepy noise and a brief failed attempt at gore. The story was in dire need of a twist but the end fell as flat as the rest of it was.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's the worst film I've seen. But it's at least in the worst five.
