Red Hill
Dir: Patrick Hughes
2010
***
I've said it before and I say again, the Australians make great horror films. Although Red Hill is more of a crime-thriller, noir-western more than a horror but there are horror elements about it and it seems they're good at all those other things too. Jimmy Conway is easily as scary as Jason or Leatherface, the two most likely comparisons. The story is of a much better quality though compared to Friday 13th or most of the Texas Chainsaw films, so we shouldn't expect any sequels. Patrick Hughes has proven himself worthy, although Expendables 3 seems like an odd choice of follow up. Jimmy Conway vs the Expendables would be great though thinking about it...
