In 100 Bloody Acres, brothers Reg and Lindsay Morgan are struggling to keep their organic blood and bone fertilizer business in motion. Their secret recipe for success (using dead car crash victims in their product) was a huge boon to business, but lately supply has been gravely low. Months have passed since their last find, and an important new customer is now waiting on a delivery. When junior partner Reg (Damon Herriman of Justified) stumbles upon 3 travelers stranded on a remote country road, he cooks up a radical solution to their problem, and a way of finally gaining the respect of his bossy big brother (Angus Sampson, featured in the upcoming Insidious: Chapter 2). But when Reg starts to fall for Sophie, one of the intended victims, things get complicated. A bloody good time, the Cairnes brothers witty horror-comedy blends sly Australian humor, gory fun, and a clever storyline that gives recycling a whole new context.
Review
Gory and funny…jaw-dropping…top-notch…McGahan is luminous…Herriman is outstanding. –Richard Kuipers, Variety
A laugh riot and completely bizarre. Sick and twisted. Highly recommended…I had a blast! –Kwenton Bellette, Twitch
4 STARS! The best low-budget horror comedy since Shaun of the Dead and one of the most assured first features in ages. This is a smartly written and acted and exceptionally well-directed movie. The film’s mix of over-the-top gore, yokel slapstick, deft wordplay and free-floating ominousness recalls Blood Simple and Fargo. –Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
