It's a Fool's Garden...
30 May 2023
When I hear the words 'lemon' and 'tree' together in one sentence, I spontaneously think about the joyful and catchy 90s pop-song by the one-hit-wonder band Fool's Garden. Look it up on YouTube. You'll like it probably a lot better than this insignificant and unmemorable Aussie thriller/horror.

The plot starts out promisingly, enlightening us about a creepy and intriguing Australian urban legend. There's a road in New South Wales where the ghost of a motorist dwells, the victim of a hit-and-run accident. Now, when teenagers use this road at night to speed and race, a bright and flashy light appears. So far so good, but then the script takes a few illogical and confusing twists, and before I properly knew what was going on it's dealing about a completely different and unrelated murder mystery. Not only does the "new" plot raises many questions that don't get answers, it's also devoid of suspense, excitement, and action. The film is watchable, but frustratingly boring.
