Long Weekend (2008) BDRip-DMZ

Aristotle
taught that if one way be better than another, that would have to be
nature's way. He obviously never saw this movie. Mother Nature ain't so
motherly in "Long Weekend". Nature isn't anyone's friend. Nature is the
enemy: wildlife, weather, and, most importantly, the wayward ways of
man (and woman).

But there is no need to go ballistic with
interpretation to enjoy this movie. It's essentially an old-school
drama, despite some of the mysteries. It definitely works on several
levels. At face value, it's the story of Peter and Carla who can't make
their marriage work, least of all during what is supposed to be quality
time, away from home and everyday chores. On another level, it's a tale
of an awe-inspiring, yet unwelcoming wilderness conspiring against
urban intruders, both by attacking them directly and by bringing out
the worst in them. Giving little context and almost no explanation,
Jamie Blanks takes us on a very wild ride. "Long Weekend" is not funny,
but who says everything has to be? Of course there's no happy ending
either. Not a big bang, but explosive enough.
