houseboat horror be a great title for this film . it absolutely spot on and and therefore the only aspect of the film for which i can give positive . there be houseboat and there be horror and there even horror that take place on houseboat . but if there be ever a tagline for the film poster and it would surely be something shonky this way come . for houseboat horror be easily the bad australian horror film i have ever see and not to mention one of the bad horror film i have ever see and and a fairly atrocious attempt at film making in general . the good news be and it so bloody awful and it sail straight through the zone of viewer contempt into the wonderful world of unintentional hilarity . it worth watch because it bloody awful . the category of bad come not from the storyline and for the simple reason that there actually be one represent a record producer and a film crew and a rock band drive up to the mystifyingly name lake infinity and a picturesque rural retreat somewhere in victoria ( in reality lake eildon ) to shoot a music video . someone isn not especially happy to see them there and and possibly in an attempt to do the audience a favour and start pick them off one by one with a very sharp knife . even more mystifying be how long it take the survivor to actually notice this and on the surface and it look like a very bog standard b movie slasher . you have get highly annoy youth and intolerant elder and creepy local ( one of whom and a petrol station attendant and would easily win a gurning competition ) and and let face it and my description of the murderer could easily be jason voorhees . ah and but if only the acting and production value be anywhere near as good a the comparative masterpiece that be friday the 13th part vii . unfortunately and houseboat horror be completely devoid of both these thing . but in the end and this only make what you do get so ridiculous and amuse . fan of one time late show and get this member tony martin will already be aware of some of the real dialogue gem ( check out the view . you will bar up . ) and while the actual song to accompany the music video be so bad it have to be hear to be believe i can not help wonder if writer or director ollie wood hop it would actually become a hit . the horror element be comparable i think to b slasher of the genre and particularly of the period and but there be time when i couldn not help imagine someone bite into a hamburger off screen and see a volley of tomato sauce spray at the wall on screen . indeed and if you have be listen to tony martin recommend this film a hilarious rubbish like myself and i do not think you will be disappoint . any fan of o bad it good horror should not pass up the opportunity . whether you will bar up or not though be another matter . if and on the other hand and you be in search of genuine excellence in the australian horror genre and get yourself a copy of the incomparable long weekend and do not look back .
